Waiting for Guffman

Waiting for Guffman is a 1996 American mockumentary comedy film written by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy, and directed by Guest. The film's ensemble cast includes Guest, Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, and Parker Posey.

While alluding to Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot, the story follows a local community production of a stage musical, with original songs written by Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer. As with other Guest mockumentary films, most of the dialogue was improvised.
