Comedian Trevor Noah, who is currently on his India tour in three cities: Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, cancelled both of his shows that were scheduled to take place in Bengaluru on 27 and 28 September at Manpho Convention Centre in Nagavara, due to technical issues.

The comedian took to social media to apologise to his fans and promised a full refund to the ticket holders.

Sources told The Quint, Trevor Noah, who travelled with his sound engineer had conducted a sound check one day before the event and on the day of the event, giving it the green light. 

"However, on the day of the event when Trevor took the stage, his voice didn't carry to the back of the venue. His sound engineer resolved the issue in 10 minutes, but by then, Trevor had left the stage and didn't return after being informed, and posted a tweet about the incident."

Apart from the bad acoustics, the attendees also complained about the heat. The source added, "The A/C was turned off in the front, on Trevor's sound engineers advise, for 10 minutes while sorting out the technical glitch. They wanted to see if it made a difference to the sound."

The Quint has reached out to Trevor Noah and is waiting for a response. This story will be updated if and when we receive a statement.

Noah is scheduled to perform in Mumbai on 30 September and 1 October.
