  • Jen Brister: Reactive will tour the UK from October 2025 through to May 2026
  • "Brister has been told she needs to chill the hell out. Can Jen find her zen? It seems unlikely to be honest..."

Jen Brister is to head out on a stand-up tour across 2025 and 2026 with new show Reactive.

She'll debut the tour in Australia and New Zealand in May and June, before then touring the UK from October 2025 through to May 2026.

The show's blurb explains: "Jen Brister is Reactive - or so she's been told. Apparently you don't have to respond to every little thing around you. Finding herself in a constant state of exacerbation at the state of the world and people in general, Brister has been told she needs to chill the hell out. Can Jen find her zen? It seems unlikely to be honest..."

Her promoters confirm: "After an extended 115 date sell-out 2022/23 UK tour, and ensuing sold-out debut tour of the USA in 2024, Jen is back on the road with her highly anticipated new show. Jen will be launching the new show on her debut tour of Australia and New Zealand this Spring, before taking it all around the UK throughout 2025 and 2026 - playing in her biggest venues yet, including London's Hammersmith Apollo."

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 14th February.
