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).

When their plan to book a show at the Rivoli goes horribly wrong, Matt and Jay accidentally travel back to the year 2008.

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

The line between reality and fiction starts to blur when two best friends start making a movie about getting revenge on bullies.
