Criticising the Bengaluru venue, comedian and TV host Trevor Noah said it was ‘technically a building’ but the room where he was supposed to perform looked like a ‘semi-permanent tent’.
South African comedian Trevor Noah’s ordeal in Bengaluru seems to have provided fresh content for the artist, who trolled the arrangements at the venue during his show held in Mumbai on September 30.
Two shows of the famous comedian and TV show host scheduled at Manpho Convention Centre in Bengaluru on September 27 and 28 were cancelled due to “technical issues.”
“You know sometimes you feel like something is about to happen and it does. That happened to us in Bengaluru. We are driving to go to the venue. After about an hour and a half of driving, I was like, where are we going? The driver and everyone in the car was like this is the way we are supposed to go,” he said, referring to the massive traffic jam witnessed in Bengaluru on September 27 as people looked to travel out of the city with the long weekend approaching.
At some point en route to the Bengaluru venue, Noah said, the driver turned to a dirt road. “Where is this? Am I performing in the past? Where am I going? And they drove us to this venue,” he said.
Explaining the challenges he faced on entering the venue, Noah said that usually when he goes for a show backstage, “what happens is that there will be like an entrance you walk into. You emerge in a backstage area before you come and perform. Here, we walk through an alley that was full of dogs, half of which were in cages…. Some of those dogs are outside (while others are in). What have these dogs done? That’s what I want to know.”
