Capital Mind CEO Deepak Shenoy joined the long list of Bengalurians who have lashed out at the city administration after the unprecedented traffic congestion they faced on Wednesday. Shenoy, who had also bought tickets for Emmy-winning comedian Trevor Noah's live show which initially began late because of the traffic snarl and was then cancelled due to technical problems.
"If it takes a crisis to fix a city, then Bangalore needs a massive recession," Shenoy wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after the ordeal.
The Capital Mind CEO who "somehow made it to the Trevor Noah show" amid "insane traffic" said he was disappointed to find that the venue was a warehouse. "There were no real acoustics but my area could hear Trevor clearly. Though some folks in the back couldn't. And the flustercuck of a traffic jam on the way out too. All in all, Bangalore happened," he wrote.
Deepak Shenoy also shared a Twitter thread highlighting how the organiser Bookmyshow was to blame for the cancellation of both the Trevor Noah shows in the city.
The comedian had on Wednesday announced on Twitter that he could not go ahead with the show after making a brief appearance on stage.
"Dear Bengaluru India, I was so looking forward to performing in your amazing city but due to technical issues, we’ve been forced to cancel both shows. We tried everything but because the audience can’t hear the comedians on stage there’s literally no way to do a show," he wrote.
The second show was scheduled to take place at the same venue on Thursday.
