'Semi-permanent tent, dogs in alley': Trevor Noah trolls Bengaluru after cancelling shows

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.

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.
