Caught on camera by a documentary crew, this mockumentary offers a humorous and cringe-worthy glimpse into Brent's delusional quest for musical stardom.

David Brent: Life on the Road is a must-watch for fans of The Office and anyone who appreciates cringe-worthy humor. With Gervais' impeccable portrayal of the endearing yet painfully unaware protagonist, this mockumentary offers an entertaining and authentic exploration of dreams, delusions, and the realities of life as a wannabe rock star.
