Nirvana the Band the Show(2007)

Nirvana the Band the Show is a Canadian comedy series following two struggling musicians, Matt and Jay, as they pursue their unlikely dream of performing at Toronto's legendary Rivoli venue. The pair concoct an escalating series of increasingly absurd schemes and publicity stunts in their quest for the gig, each attempt more chaotic than the last. Shot with deadpan humor and a mockumentary sensibility, the show mines comedy from the gap between the characters' ambitions and their actual talent and resources. Set against Toronto's indie music scene, Nirvana the Band the Show captures the desperation and delusion of wannabe musicians willing to do almost anything for their shot at the big time. It's a sharp satire of ambition, friendship, and the lengths people will go to make their dreams reality, no matter how misguided those dreams might be.
