Jack Whitehall: Bad Influence

If you have been keeping an eye on the comedy circuit, you might have noticed that Jack Whitehall is heading back to the Brighton Centre. While there was some initial confusion online linking his previous tour, Settle Down, to these dates, it has been confirmed that he is actually bringing his new show, Bad Influence, to the city. This marks his seventh stand-up tour, and it is shaping up to be a bit of a departure from his earlier work.

He is describing this new material as being quite unfiltered and a bit more daring than what long-time fans might be used to. The show is built around what he calls scandalous stories and moments that push boundaries, so it is definitely leaning into a more mature, adult-oriented style of comedy. It is the kind of show where he is clearly trying to move away from the persona he has cultivated over the last few years, focusing on material that feels a bit more raw and less polished.

For those planning to head down, the performances are scheduled for two consecutive nights at the Brighton Centre. The first show is on January 28, 2027, starting at 19:00, followed by a second show on January 29, 2027, at 20:00. Tickets are currently being handled through standard platforms like Ticketmaster and AXS. If you are looking for something a bit different, there are also hospitality packages available through Seat Unique, which include perks like premium seating and catering options, though standard ticket pricing is still to be confirmed.

It is worth noting that this tour is specifically aimed at an adult audience, given the nature of the content he is promising. If you are a fan of his stand-up and are curious to see how his style has evolved since his last major run, these dates in Brighton are the local opportunity to catch the show. It is a straightforward setup: two nights, a new set of material, and a venue that most of us are already familiar with.
