SBS VICELAND premieres Canadian mockumentary Nirvanna the Band the Show.
Creators Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol star as a duo “Nirvanna the Band” attempting publicity stunts in the hopes of landing a gig.
The 10 part series, based on a web-series, premiered in Canada in February.
A quest to perform at a rock club is at the centre of this comedy series that melds fiction with reality. Show creators Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol star as best friends and roommates who devise a number of schemes in the hopes of getting their band booked to play a show at the Rivoli, a modest Toronto club.
Going to unnecessary extremes to land the gig, sometimes causing real-world madness with thousands of extras who are unaware they’re on a TV show, they’re planning to take Toronto by storm one scheme at a time.
Season One, Episode One: The Banner
In an effort to raise awareness about the band, Matt and Jay drop a huge banner across from The Rivoli. It turns out to be more revealing than originally planned.
8.05pm Wednesday 31 May on SBS VICELAND.
