South African comedian Trevor Noah disappointed his Indian fans recently when he announced that he must cancel his Bengaluru shows. In a last-minute announcement, mere hours before the show, Noah took to his X account, cited "technical issues" for cancelling his shows, and expressed his apologies.
Trevor wrote, "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." The scheduled shows in Bangalore were set to take place at the Manpho Convention Centre on September 27 and 28.
He added, "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 sure all ticket holders receive a full refund and again I'm so sorry for both the inconvenience and disappointment this has never happened to us before."
Fans were not happy with this last-minute outcome. One wrote, "Trevor has been Bangalored, not in a nice way though! The joke is on Silicon City." Another said, "A minute of silence for those who braved the traffic of Bengaluru to get to this." A second fan wrote, "So those who missed the show because of traffic will get a refund because of cancellation. Blessing in disguise."
A comment also read, "I can imagine how frustrating this must have been for those who endured hours of O.R.R. traffic for the show only to find it cancelled. "Had got front row seats for this amazing show because I kinda knew the venue was bad and nothing would be audible at the back. My friends travelling from another part of country to see this!! This is really sad," read another comment.
