    Nathan Fielder

    Nathan Joseph Fielder, comedian, actor, writer, director, producer (born 12 May 1983 in Vancouver, BC). Nathan Fielder is best known for his offbeat, deadpan and awkward comedic style, which he honed on the CBC news parody program This Hour Has 22 Minutes. His regular segment on that series, a consumer report parody called “Nathan On Your Side,” formed the basis of his award-winning Comedy Central series Nathan for You (2013–17). Fielder followed that with the HBO series The Rehearsal (2022) and the Showtime series The Curse (2022–23), both of which experiment with form and push the boundaries of television comedy. Named the Breakout Comedy Star of the Year by Just for Laughs in 2014, Fielder has won a Canadian Comedy Award, a Writers Guild of America Award and a Film Independent Spirit Award.
