 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Rehearsal is a docu-reality comedy television series created by and starring Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder. Ostensibly, the series follows Fielder as he helps people prepare for major life events by allowing them to rehearse with the assistance of elaborate sets and an army of actors hired to play their friends and family members. Fielder is well-meaning but extremely awkward, leading to many Cringe Comedy moments. After one episode, though, things quickly go off the rails, and the series becomes something else entirely. It's kind of hard to explain without seeing, but the barriers between reality and fantasy deteriorate to the point it's no longer certain if Fielder is even in control of his own show anymore.It's something of a Creator-Driven Successor to Fielder’s previous series Nathan for You, another Cringe Comedy docuseries in which he tried to help small businesses through unconventional methods. The first, six-episode season aired on HBO on July 15, 2022. It has been renewed for a second season.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Ambiguous Situation

comment
 Ambiguous Situation: As Nathan begins to incorporate himself more and more into the rehearsals, it becomes less clear to the audience whether Fielder is just leaning further into his own reality-bending shtick or whether he's actually begun to lose sight of what's real and what isn't. The ambiguity of whether his breakdown in Episode 4 is Fielder acting or experiencing a genuine emotional response to a traumatic roleplay scenario only casts further into doubt how much of what we're seeing is "real."

 Alternative Character Interpretation: In-Universe, Nathan and Kor have differing interpretations of Willy Wonka. Kor sees Wonka as a philanthropist who changes people’s lives for the better, while Nathan sees him as a villainous child murderer.
