Jameela Jamil is returning to Australia and New Zealand in March 2027 with a new live show exploring the pressures of perfectionism, fame and society’s expectations.
The actress, writer and activist, best known for her role as Tahani Al-Jamil in “The Good Place,” will bring her “Prison of Perfection” tour to seven cities across Australia and New Zealand, beginning in Perth on March 1st. See full dates below.
Presented by Fane Australia, the live event will see Jamil discuss everything from relationships and career setbacks to body image, ageing and the influence of social media, drawing on her personal experiences and philosophy of having “A Low Desire to Please.”
Tickets will go on sale at 11am on Monday, November 16th, following a presale from 11am on Friday, November 13th. All times are local. Sign up here for presale.
Having turned 40 this year, Jamil is embracing a new chapter centred on challenging societal expectations and rejecting the pressure to seek approval from others.
The show will also feature a special guest at each stop, with audiences invited to participate in a Q&A covering her career, personal experiences and, inevitably, her time on “The Good Place.”
“I’ve always been passionate about the concept of helping the underdog. It just doesn’t make sense to me as to what kind of person would take a huge platform and not use it to do something, to change something, to help people,” Jamil said.

Beyond her breakout role in NBC’s acclaimed comedy, Jamil has built a career spanning film, television, podcasting and advocacy. She portrayed Marvel villain Titania in Disney+’s “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” voiced Ambassador Questa in Pixar’s “Elio,” and appears in the Netflix films “People We Meet on Vacation” and “A Merry Little Ex-Mas.”
She also created and hosts the Gracie Award-winning comedy podcast “Wrong Turns,” which features guests sharing their most embarrassing and disastrous experiences. Previous guests have included Simon Pegg, Mae Martin and Bob the Drag Queen.
Her Substack newsletter, “A Low Desire to Please,” has also attracted nearly 90,000 subscribers since launching in 2025, further establishing her platform for commentary on culture, identity and societal pressures.
