Jack Whitehall is heading to Manchester’s Co-op Live in 2027 as part of his newly announced UK arena tour, Bad Influence.
The show will see Whitehall return with an all-new stand-up set, following four consecutive sold-out arena tours.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday 20 February via his official website, with a pre-sale beginning at 10am on Wednesday for fans who sign up online.
Bad Influence marks his first major tour in several years and will feature new material shaped by recent life changes, alongside the observational humour and personal anecdotes that have defined his previous shows.
“I’m so excited to be heading back out on tour in 2027!” he said. “Toddlers, planning a wedding – it’s been a busy few years for me, life-wise, so I think it’s high time I got back onstage and vented to my fans. I can’t wait to hit the road again.”
The Manchester date will, of course, be a key one – with Whitehall having been a former resident, while studying at Manchester Uni.
Away from the stage, Whitehall has continued to expand his screen career. He recently starred in the Prime Video thriller Malice alongside David Duchovny and Carice van Houten, and led the Peacock comedy series The Burbs.
He will also be in town to host the BRIT Awards, on 28 February, also at Co-op Live.
His earlier tours, including Settle Down and Stood Up, were released as Netflix specials, while his 2025 global tour The Whitehalls Live included a headline performance at Carnegie Hall. He is also widely known for the Netflix travel series Travels With My Father.
Further details, including the date of his Manchester show at Co-op Live, are expected as part of the full tour schedule, with the run set to take place in early 2027.
