Abhishek Upmanyu TOXIC wasfantastic, but the latecomers at Jupiter Auditorium really spoiled parts of the experience.
Went to Abhishek Upmanyu's show today at Jupiter Auditorium, and I had an absolute blast. Abhishek was hilarious and in top form.Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.
My only complaint is with the audience management, or rather, the audience itself. The show was scheduled for 6 PM, but people kept entering till almost 6:50. Constant movement, phone flashlights on while looking for seats, people squeezing past rows in the dark. It was pretty distracting and definitely affected the experience for those who had arrived on time.
I genuinely don't understand why people can't just reach the venue before the show starts. If hundreds of people can manage it, why can't everyone? A stand-up show depends on timing and immersion, and late entries kept breaking that flow.
No complaints about Abhishek at all. He was brilliant. But Lucknow folks, please do better. Arriving on time is basic courtesy, both for the performer and for fellow audience members.
