Jack Whitehall: Settle Down

Review of the comic's first stand-up tour in four years

Just before the interval of his first tour in four years, Jack Whitehall confesses to always seeking any distraction to avoid having a serious conversation.  

That realisation raises the possibility that in the second half the comic will challenge himself to start probing deeper subjects, especially given that the set-up of Settle Down is how, at 34, he is growing up and discarding trivial things as he prepares for fatherhood.

However, save for a couple of fleeting and notable exceptions, deeper self-analysis is thin on the ground. There’s far more about his ‘fur baby’ dog, and how the toy poodle is emasculating (how very on-brand for this perennial beta-male), than the higher responsibility of being a parent.

Whitehall remains the archetypal banter merchant – proving the same great company that’s such an asset to panel shows and talk shows – as his riffs, self-effacingly about his privilege and his feeble masculinity. It’s  sprinkled with a few good gags, but it feels like we’ve been here before. His comedy isn’t maturing as his life is.

After the obligatory references to his father, he harks back to his school days at Marldborough, as he calls it – as if that errant extra letter will keep the lawyers at bay – in the shadow of much more successful alumni such as Emma Watson and Robert Pattison. (And the Princess of Wales, who he fails to mention, maybe she’s an echelon of poshness too far). But he has a nice line in exaggerated indignation at the one time the Daily Mail did name him as an old boy, in a far-from-flattering story about the school.

There’s no faulting his performance skills – he’s excellent at both feigning spontaneity and putting in a few genuine ad-libs, and effective at acting out exaggerated scenarios. His burgeoning demand in Hollywood – where he spent at least one of the years since his last tour – is not a total surprise.  

It means he can hold the audience. In the brief moment he talks about his partner Roxy Horner’s miscarriage, he has the audience’s full attention and sympathy. But it’s not long before that compulsion to head for the trivial kicks in again and we’re imagining God designing zebras, inspired by a safari he took where he found himself among Americans who were – guess what? –  loud and stupid.  

Fans already know most of his life’s landmarks from the media, such as how diabetic Roxy collapsed at the Brit Awards – related here with something of a glib punchline. But sometimes the elevated circles he moves in are exploited well. The relatable fears of how you measure up to a partner’s ex become a whole different prospect when that man is Leonardo DiCaprio.

Much is about he’s a victim of relentless ill-fortune – presumably considered more accessible than his rarefied upbringing and A-list lifestyle. A recurring theme is about he’s a ‘massive melt’, a coward unable to defend Roxy’s honour when a bouncer disrespects her. Meanwhile, a routine about the humiliation of dining alone in a restaurant gives reign to those act-outs, though there’s not too much substance behind it. And of course there’s an anecdote about drunken high jinks.

Plenty of topics are stand-up staples that could be – and have been – told by anyone: mocking right-wing fundamentalists for getting vexxed about ‘woke’ Disney movies; how Americans would whoop and cheer at news of him becoming a parent but Brits are cynically subdued; wondering what songs will be golden oldies when the current youngsters are in their dotage… He closes with a stirring speech about what he loves about Britain – Greggs, pub gardens and surly service staff – as stirring music plays. It seems cynical and manipulative.

In a rare philosophical moment, Whitehall reflects that he spent his youth chasing pleasure, while now he’s achieving happiness. If only he could find similar maturity in his comedy, which offers plenty of enjoyable snacks, but little that’s more satisfying.

Jack Whitehall at the O2 Arena review: very much a mixed bag

Well, I did laugh. That’s the best thing I can say about Jack Whitehall ’s latest show, Settle Down. The last time there were winds this strong in the capital part of the 02’s roof blew off. While it might have been stormy outside this weekend there was very little inside the repurposed Millennium Dome that truly blew me away.

On the positive side Whitehall can certainly sell a gag. He delivered his lines with gusto, he strutted around making use of the entire stage, and he is an impressive physical comedian, adding visual pay-offs to his verbals.

But it often felt as if something was lacking. The title (Settle Down) suggests that the show is about Whitehall, 35, finally leaving his feckless kidulthood behind and maturing, now that he is about to become a father. But while this theme did pop up, the narrative appeared disjointed.

A lengthy anecdote about a safari, for example, seemed shoehorned in based on the idea that he wanted one last big break before nappies and sleepless nights ensued. But the subsequent set-piece felt as if he had said to ChatGPT “write me a self-mocking routine about a holiday complete with clichéd tourists from Florida.”

In fairness most of his jokes are a little smarter than AI might manage, though sometimes one could see the punchline looming. And sometimes the banter was generic terrain – a skit on having difficulty verifying he is not a robot when signing in online, imagining his generation singing along to Cardi B’s WAP when they are OAPs, comparing whooping Americans to English cynics.

The show was at its strongest when Whitehall got personal. Discussing his social anxiety in the first half or, later, talking about the difficulties following his partner Roxy Horner suffering a miscarriage. It was unusual and even moving to see Whitehall being serious. A more typical approach was when he teased that unlike buying trainers “there’s no returns policy” to having a baby.

We got numerous comedic glimpses into Whitehall’s private life, from wisecracks about his curmudgeonly father Michael sending him to boarding school and leaving him with “daddy issues but fluent in Latin”, to quips about reports of Roxy being previously linked to Leonardo DiCaprio. Whitehall generously made himself the fall guy, claiming that he is more Labradoodle than Wolf of Wall Street.

In fact dogs seem to be the overriding motif on the night. He explained how after an emotionally difficult period he had to choose between therapy and getting a dog. He went down the canine route, but rather than a manly mutt he ended up with a toy poodle. Did he pay far too much? Of course he did.

Whitehall has recently carved out a successful career in Hollywood movies and at times onstage he seemed like an actor playing a stand-up. He plays the role well, but compared to his last tour four years ago this was very much a mixed bag. More mongrel than pedigree pooch.

Event Details

International comedy superstar Jack Whitehall is back with his highly anticipated new live show. Following three complete sell-out arena tours Jack is eager to get back on the road doing what he does best - delighting audiences!

Jack says: “This is my most personal show yet, with plenty of material about the big changes that have happened in my life. It’s about my struggle to settle down gracefully. I’ve got a long-term partner, a ridiculous dog and am now hurtling towards middle aged without a clue. It’s about a foppish man-child’s crack handed attempt at adulting!”
