Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie – Feb 20

A new feature film based on the cult hit “Nirvanna the Band the Show” sends Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol back to the year 2008, leading to a journey filled with nostalgia, chaos, and hilarity.

The film follows the misadventures of Matt and Jay, playing fictionalised versions of themselves as members of the duo “Nirvanna the Band.” Their single desperate goal: to book a gig at the Rivoli, a popular bar and restaurant in Toronto. Despite never having written or recorded a single song, nor even attempting to contact the Rivoli’s management about booking a show, the duo hatch yet another audacious scheme to make their dream come true. However, things take a wild turn when their latest plan backfires, accidentally sending Matt, Jay, and their cameraman friend Jared Raab back in time to the year 2008, leaving them stranded in the past and scrambling for ways to return to their own time.

It all started in 2007 when Johnson and McCarrol created a web series titled Nirvanna the Band the Show. This series ran until 2008 and was later followed by a sequel television series from 2017 to 2018 under the same name. The new film continues the series’ blend of real world pop culture parodies and surreal, improvised comedy. Join Matt and Jay for their biggest adventure yet – on the big screen with their band, their show, their movie – February 20.
