Jack Whitehall is bringing his brand-new stand-up show, Jack Whitehall: Bad Influence, to the First Direct Bank Arena in 2027.
After a period of being on his ‘best behaviour,’ the award-winning comedian is returning to the stage for his first tour since 2022.
Fresh from starring in the Prime Video thriller Malice and hosting The BRIT Awards for a record sixth time, Whitehall is heading back to his stand-up roots, with the Bad Influence tour promising fearless, unfiltered live comedy and brand-new material written specifically for these 2027 dates.
Whitehall’s journey to arena-filling status has been a rapid ascent since he first burst onto the comedy scene as a teenager. In 2007, at just 18 years old, he became the youngest-ever comedian to reach the final of the prestigious 'Laughing Horse New Act' competition.
Shortly after, he was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2009 for his debut solo show, Nearly Rebellious.
Since those early days at the Edinburgh Fringe, Jack has become a dominant force in British entertainment, winning the public-voted ‘King of Comedy’ at the British Comedy Awards for three consecutive years (2012–2014).
From his breakout acting roles as the lovable posh boy JP in Fresh Meat and Alfie Wickers in Bad Education to his global Netflix success with Travels with My Father, Jack has perfected the art of self-deprecating, "awkward" humour that resonates with millions.
Leeds audiences can look forward to the hilariously awkward storytelling, razor-sharp observations, and mischievous confessions that have cemented Jack’s status as one of the UK’s most beloved performers - and one who promises plenty of moments that flirt with going ‘a little too far,’ but all in the best possible way.
