Nathan Fielder

Nathan Joseph Fielder (born May 12, 1983) is a Canadian comedian, known for his awkward persona and for creating works that blur the line between reality and fiction. As a teenager, Fielder was involved in his school's improv group, which featured fellow comedian Seth Rogen. He majored in business at the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, which influenced his later work.

After attending a comedy course at Humber College in Toronto, Fielder began his career as a correspondent for CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes for the segment series Nathan on Your Side from 2008 to 2009. He wrote and appeared on the American sketch show Important Things with Demetri Martin (2011).

In 2013, Fielder co-created and directed the Comedy Central parody reality show Nathan for You, in which he stars as a slightly more awkward version of himself, who offers advice to struggling businesses.
