Nathan Fielder (born 1983) is a Canadian writer and comedian.
He was born in Vancouver, British Columbia,[citation needed] and graduated from the University of Victoria in 2005. At school, Nathan was unpopular among the other comedians due to his complete lack of comical ability beyond a few rudimentary jokes.[2]
After receiving the 2006 Tim Sims Award for outstanding Canadian comedy newcomer, Fielder went on to join the cast of the CBC comedy series This Hour Has 22 Minutes as a field correspondent. He also helped write for Canadian Idol.[3]
In 2010, he wrote and directed a number of sketches for season 2 of Important Things with Demetri Martin on Comedy Central.[3] He also did a guest voice role of a geeky boy named Nathan, on the Season 2 finale of Bob's Burgers.[3]
Fielder played Jon Benjamin's sound guy in the 2011 television series Jon Benjamin Has a Van,[3] and played Bob Woodward in the "Washington, DC" episode of Comedy Central's Drunk History.[4] He is currently at the helm of Comedy Central's Nathan For You.[5][6] The show is based on the Nathan On Your Side segments which he did for This Hour Has 22 Minutes.[2]
