Explore Jack Whitehall’s 2026 Work in Progress shows, with official imagery, the comedy format and information about the completed Richmond date.
Jack Whitehall’s Work in Progress performances offered audiences an early look at material while he developed a new show. The point of the format was to test and refine comedy before taking it to larger venues.
A work-in-progress performance can change between dates. It gives audiences a different experience from a finished touring production, with new ideas still being shaped in front of a live crowd.
Richmond Theatre’s official listing records a performance on 16 September 2026, with an interval and age guidance of 14 and over. That date has passed. This page preserves the Work in Progress production rather than presenting it as a current booking.
Jack Whitehall’s official website now advertises Bad Influence in 2027. That is a separately named tour; check his official announcements for the latest dates.

London Road, Guildford GU1 2AA
Guildford Railway Station is roughly a 15 to 20 minute walk away, and the route is mostly uphill. London Road Station is much closer, at around three to five minutes on foot, though there is no step-free access to the platform for return trains towards London. Taxi services operate at both stations, and you can also book a cab through the taxi hotline at the Ticket Desk before the show or during the interval.
G Live is about a 10 minute uphill walk from Guildford Bus Station, and there are several bus stops close to the venue. Timetables are published by Surrey County Council.
There are two pay-and-display car parks immediately behind and next to the venue, with five allocated Blue Badge spaces in the G Live car park, a lowered kerb from road to pavement and a marked crossing point over to the stalls entrance. The nearest public car park is Dene Road, Guildford, GU1 4DD, which has accessible spaces and two electric charging stations. All the car parks are managed by the council rather than by G Live. Bike racks are provided outside the building.
