As he wrapped up his 'Off The Record' tour in India, US comedian Trevor Noah on Wednesday thanked his fans for sharing the country's rich history, "delicious cuisine" and "fantastic arguments" with him. The Emmy winner, who cancelled two of his shows in Bengaluru because of problems with the venue, promised that he would return to the city for the "best show ever".

'India. What an experience it was coming and performing in your country for the first time. Thank you for sharing your rich history, your delicious cuisine, and your fantastic arguments with me," Noah wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Thank you to everyone who came out to the shows in Delhi and Mumbai because you made it truly unforgettable."

And in a special mention to Bengaluru, he added, "Bangalore, our story isn’t done, I’ll be back and next time we’ll make sure it’s the best show ever."

The comedian also shared a few pictures clicked while he was sight-seeing in the country, including one taken in front of the Taj Mahal in Agra.

Trevor Noah's note comes days after he used his experience in Bengaluru as fodder and trolled the city during his shows in Mumbai. The comedian said it was the first time that he had to reach the backstage of a venue -- Manpho Conventional Centre in Manyata Tech Park -- via an alley lined with dogs.

"Now, usually when I go to do a show backstage what happens is there will be like an entrance that you walk into and then you're in the venue and then you emerge into a backstage area before you come and perform," Trevor Noah said. "Here (in the Bengaluru venue), we walk through an alley that was full of dogs -- half of which were in cages... I've never prepared for a show where the backstage area is dogs in cages."

He added that the room was like a semi-permanent tent and with no screens and there were giant air-conditioners blowing hot air. He later cancelled the show and another scheduled for the next day as the audience could not hear the comedians on stage because of the noise from the ACs. The ticket buyers were offered an apology and a full refund.
