Jack Whitehall’s Bad Influence comes to Derby in February

Jack Whitehall will bring his new stand-up tour, Jack Whitehall: Bad Influence, to Derby for a Comedy Show at Vaillant Live on Sunday 7 February 2027.

Doors open at 7pm at the venue on 2 Colyear Street, Derby, DE1 1LA. Ticket prices have not been listed in the Visit Derby event notice. The show is aimed at fans of arena comedy, new stand-up material and Whitehall’s mix of sharp observations, awkward confessions and mischievous stage persona.

New arena material for Derby audiences

Bad Influence is billed as a brand-new tour, with Whitehall returning to stand-up after recent screen and hosting work. The Visit Derby listing says he comes to Derby after starring in Prime Video’s Malice and hosting The BRIT Awards this year.

The show description points towards the kind of stage persona Whitehall has built across previous tours and television appearances: quick, self-mocking and happy to lean into social awkwardness. For audiences booking in Derby, the main draw is new material rather than a repeat of an older touring set.

Visit Derby’s event listing describes the show as featuring “razor-sharp observations”, “brilliantly awkward confessions” and stories that push the line while keeping the tone playful. The listing also places the Derby date within a wider UK arena tour planned for 2027.

Vaillant Live hosts the February date

The confirmed Derby venue is Vaillant Live, at 2 Colyear Street in the city centre. The listing gives the event date as 7 February 2027 and says doors open at 7pm.

No running time is listed in the source notice, and no separate finish time has been provided. Anyone planning transport, food or overnight arrangements should check the venue’s own event information closer to the date, as those details are not included in the Visit Derby listing.

The event page also does not list accessibility arrangements, age guidance or ticket prices. That makes the confirmed information useful for diary planning, but not yet a complete booking checklist.

Presale and general sale timings

The Visit Derby notice says venue presale starts at 10am on Thursday 19 February. It also states that people must be signed up to the venue mailing list for link access.

General sale is listed for 10am on Friday 20 February. The source does not specify ticket bands, seat categories, booking fees or allocation size.

For readers deciding whether to attend, the practical position is clear: the Derby date, venue and door time are confirmed, while price and detailed booking conditions still need to be checked before purchase. The event notice itself advises readers to verify event information directly with the host or facilitator before making bookings or plans.
