NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW is a Canadian semi-scripted comedy series following two hapless best friends, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, as they attempt to achieve their ultimate goal: to play a show at the Rivoli, a well-known Toronto music venue.
In episode 5 of season 1, titled "The Big Time," Matt and Jay are offered a shot at fame and fortune when a high-profile music producer expresses interest in signing them to his label. However, in typical Nirvanna the Band the Show fashion, things quickly spiral out of control as the duo's antics (including a misguided attempt at a publicity stunt involving a fake bomb threat) threaten to derail their chances at success.
Meanwhile, Matt's girlfriend and bandmate, Sheena, becomes increasingly frustrated with the boys' lack of progress towards their Rivoli show, and takes matters into her own hands to try and spur them into action.
As always, the episode is packed with hilarious gags, absurd situations, and plenty of fourth wall-breaking as Matt and Jay constantly blur the lines between reality and fiction. Will they finally achieve their dreams of stardom, or will their own ineptitude continue to hold them back? Tune in to find out!
