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).
