Writer, director and comedian Nathan Fielder (CBC's "This Hour Has 22 Minutes") also has a business degree, and he combines that knowledge with his unusual life experiences to help struggling small businesses boost their sales. However, Fielder's marketing campaigns for each business can best be described as unorthodox, to the point where no traditional sales consultant would ever attempt what he does. Episodes in this docu-reality comedy include Fielder creating a distinctly smelling flavor for a yogurt shop, devising a plan for a pizzeria to guarantee delivery in eight minutes or less, and finding a way for a gas station to charge less that $2 a gallon and still be successful.

Matt Schimkowitz IndieWire 11/09/2018
[Exposes] the genre's inherent insincerity. With the first season of his titular show... Nathan Fielder has redefined the prank show. Go to Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club 11/09/2018
Fielder isn't just a uniquely warped comic mind: He's also a student of human psychology... In the brilliant first season of Nathan For You the insane risks he takes pay huge comic dividends that will hopefully result in a second season. Go to Full Review Rachel Arons The New Yorker 11/09/2018
Nathan For You is unusually subtle and kind-hearted. Go to Full Review Jac Kern Cincinnati CityBeat 11/09/2018
The result is viewers not laughing at innocent strangers but at Fielder and at ourselves, the audience who actually watches this kind of crap. Fielder's deadpan delivery is unbreakable and hilarious. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

A Sep 19 Nathan is the ultimate awkward-comedy comedian. He's just so good at nailing awkward in so many situations. He's honestly a comedic genius up there near the likes of Robin Williams. See more Foopy F 03/27/2024 Great, funny, beautifully made See more Teddy B 01/20/2024 Shameless and utterly hilarious, Nathan Fielder is adept at turning cringe into something actually enjoyable. See more B A 12/12/2023 Hilarious! I was hooked after watching episode 2. Bravo See more 03/03/2022 This is one of the best comedy shows of all time, undoubtedly. The courage that this show requires to exist, while also being so uncontroversial in its jokes is a paradoxical feat. Kudos to Nathan Fielder. See more 06/30/2021 Just finished this first season of the show and it's truly amazing. I mean it's not like cinema, but it's still incredibly clever and funny, for a comedy it's truly a masterpiece. The host Nathan, is also just amazing. The show can be so awkward sometimes, that I feel literal pain, which just shows how great Nathan really is. See more Read all reviews
