Personal life

Mair was born in Canada.[3] He is adopted[4] and has two half-siblings.[5] He is married to comedian Harriet Kemsley.[4] The build-up to the wedding was documented on Viceland show Bobby and Harriet Get Married.[6][7]

He is a third cousin of Canadian pop star Justin Bieber; however, he says that they have never met - a fact mentioned many times, including in his Edinburgh Fringe show Obviously Adopted.[8]

Mair cited his traumatic childhood on the ‘You’ll do’ podcast. He has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder[9] saying “It's a disease that has been in the public eye for years but never gets as much attention as bipolar or schizophrenia”. Mair suffered from alcohol and drug addiction.[10]
