Can-con bad boy Matt Johnson (The Dirties, Operation Avalanche) and co-conspirator Jay McCarrol revive their cult-hit web series about a hapless two-piece Toronto band who will do anything to play a show at The Rivoli — apart from actually writing and rehearsing any actual songs.

Two lifelong best friends and roommates are planning the greatest musical act in the history of the modern world.

Nirvana the Band the Show is a 2007–09 independent Canadian mockumentary web series created and written by Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, who play fictionalized versions of themselves as they attempt to achieve their dream of playing at a small Toronto venue, the Rivoli, through a series of various schemes and publicity stunts. The viral success of the eleven produced episodes spawned a Viceland series of (almost) the same name, Nirvanna the Band the Show (2017–18), and a feature film, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025).
