What Trevor Noah fans knew would happen, what Bengaluru knew would happen -- after the US comedian cancelled both his shows in the city -- has happened. At his recent show in Mumbai, Noah used his experience in Bengaluru as fodder and trolled the city in a recent show.
A video shared by Mumbai photographer Aayushi Sachdeva on X show the comedian detailing what happened when he walked into the "venue" which was Manpho Conventional Centre in Manyata Tech Park.
What a show! What a show @trevornoah Best part was getting all the first hand gosss about the #bengaluru show and what a shit show it was on a whole new level.

The Emmy-winning comedian shared how it was the first time that he had to reach the backstage of a venue 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 further added that the convention centre "might have fulfilled some rules" to qualify as a building but the performance area resembled a semi-permanent tent and the air-conditioners installed there were bellowing hot air. "The room was like a semi-permanent tent and everyone was seated in the room with no screens and there were giant air-conditioners blowing hot air," Noah said, adding that the audience could not hear the comedians on stage because of the noise from the ACs.
In his tweet announcing the cancellation of the Bengaluru shows, Noah had said that there were technical issues and there was "literally no way to do a show." While he apologised and said that something like this had never happened before, he also offered a full refund to the ticket buyers.
Dear Bengalaru 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. We’ll make…— Trevor Noah (@Trevornoah) September 27, 2023
The comedian's announcement disappointed fans with many commenting on X that the Bengaluru experience has given Noah a lifetime's worth of material for future shows.
