- Technical glitches were the cause

- Several netizens blamed organisers BookMyShow for mismanagement
US stand-up comedian-talk show host Trevor Noah was left red-faced after his live show in Bengaluru was cancelled last minute due to some technical glitches.
Trevor Noah's Bengaluru Shows Get Halted Due To Tech Glitch
The comedian revealed that both his shows at the Manpho Convention Centre (dated September 27 and September 28 respectively), were cancelled. Fans who had gathered on Wednesday, to watch ‘The Daily Show’ host regale them, were left disappointed when they could not hear anything due to poor acoustics.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the comedian apologised profusely to his fans and promised a refund of tickets. “Dear Bengaluru 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 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,” he tweeted.
The post went viral on the microblogging site, gaining 2.3 million views and 10K likes.

One Twitter user praised him for being professional and cancelling when there were technical issues. “Just read that the shows in Bengaluru were scheduled for today and tomorrow.

Another quipped, “Bengaluru wanted to experience Trevor Noah, but Trevor Noah ended up experiencing Bengaluru!”
Biocon Boss Reacts...
Many others chastised Bengaluru’s poor stage infrastructure. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, the Executive Chairman of Biocon, wrote, “What a blot on Bangalore’s tech image. The convention centre has much to introspect …”
Another called out the organisers for choosing such a subpar venue for the comedian. “The organisers of the Trevor Noah show in Bengaluru chose a venue that has no good access roads, it’s boiling hot and the worst acoustics. Trevor Noah actually had to say I have never experienced this. Will be come back on stage?” reads the post.
