Jack Whitehall in promotional artwork for Bad Influence

Jack Whitehall will perform two nights at Brighton Centre in January 2027 as his Bad Influence tour comes to Sussex.

The shows take place on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 January, with doors at 7pm and an 8pm start. Tickets are already on sale for the new stand-up show, which follows his earlier Settle Down tour.

Jack Whitehall’s Bad Influence at Brighton Centre on 28 and 29 January 2027; doors 7pm, show 8pm, ages 14+.

What is Bad Influence about?

The venue’s announcement describes a new set built around observations, awkward confessions and stories from Whitehall’s life. It is being presented as a return to unfiltered stand-up after a period that has also included substantial acting and presenting work.

For Sussex audiences, the two-night stop offers a choice of Thursday or Friday rather than a single date. Brighton comes immediately before the tour’s London performances at The O2.

Whitehall’s official itinerary also lists a newly added London matinee on 30 January. Its on-sale date is separate from Brighton’s existing ticket sale, so readers should select the correct city and performance when booking.

Where have you seen Jack Whitehall before?

Whitehall’s screen career spans comedy, travel television and drama. His official screen credits include Travels With My Father, stand-up specials I’m Only Joking and Settle Down, and the psychological drama Malice.

He is also familiar as a host of the BRIT Awards. Those appearances show different sides of his work: a scripted acting role, a travel series and an awards ceremony are different settings from a full-length stand-up performance.

Bad Influence is the new live show on this tour. Ticketmaster’s announcement identifies it as his return to touring after Settle Down, rather than a repeat of that earlier programme.

The artist’s current tour page lists both Brighton dates and the wider itinerary, which extends across the UK. Some dates elsewhere have moved or gained extra performances, making that current itinerary more useful than the original announcement alone.

The age restriction is 14+, and both Brighton nights are seated. Prices and remaining seat choices are supplied by the official seller through the venue’s page. The published 8pm start is distinct from the 7pm opening of the doors.

Getting to Brighton Centre

The venue is on Kings Road, Brighton, BN1 2GR. From Brighton station, the route towards the seafront runs downhill via Queens Road and West Street; allow for the uphill return after the show. Churchill Square is the nearby city-centre bus hub.

For wheelchair spaces, companion tickets or advice on suitable seating, use the venue’s accessible booking information. Its Access Line is 01273 292695, normally open Monday to Friday, 10am–2pm, with arrangements adjusted for some on-sale mornings.
