Nathan Fielder Hobbies

As one could guess from his TV show, Nathan enjoys playing pranks on people, but not only that, he also enjoys asking people to play pranks on his behalf. He has tweeted a few suggestions to his followers, including telling people to message people suggestive texts such as “got 2 grams for $40” and asking them to post the person’s reactions.

Experiment: text your dad "Will dollar-store condoms work the same as regular brands?" then reply to this tweet with a pic of his response.

Nathan Fielder Political Views

The comedian doesn’t talk much about politics, although some of his sketches have included comments on politics. He does seem to try to carry his persona as often as possible, making it difficult to pin down what his actual beliefs are.

Who is he dating?

As of 2015, Fielder had a short marriage with an unnamed person but is currently divorced. In general, he isn’t very public about his relationships, the same way he seems to prefer to keep his personal beliefs private.

Random Facts

Nathan was behind “Dumb Starbucks”, a coffee shop created as a parody to the Starbucks chain. The prank became a worldwide news story before the shop was ultimately closed even before Starbucks took any legal action, although they did release a note asserting their ownership over the brand name. “We don’t want our customers to get sick, but if they do, technically that’s part of the artistic experience”, Fielder’s character said during the sketch.
