Comedian Nick Swardson blames alcohol and edibles for flop stand-up show in Colorado
Comedian Nick Swardson is known for his hilarious performances and quick wit, but a recent stand-up show in Colorado didn’t quite hit the mark. Swardson, who has appeared in various Adam Sandler productions and the comedy series “Reno 911!,” faced a tough crowd at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek over the weekend.
According to reports, Swardson’s performance was lackluster, with the audience growing restless and eventually booing him off stage. In a tweet the following day, Swardson blamed alcohol and edibles for his less-than-stellar show, advising against indulging in them at high altitudes. Despite the rocky performance, he promised to make it up to the Beaver Creek audience.
Videos of the show circulating on social media captured the awkward moments, including Swardson’s failed attempt at an impression of Jason Statham in a fictional film. The crowd’s reaction was clear as they shouted and booed, prompting the show to be cut short.
While some audience members were disappointed by the early ending, the director of operations took the stage to apologize and offer refunds to ticket holders. Representatives for Swardson and the venue have yet to comment on the incident.
It’s not uncommon for comedians to have off nights, and it seems like this was just one of those instances for Nick Swardson. Hopefully, he’ll bounce back from this experience and deliver the laughs his fans know and love. In the meantime, it serves as a reminder that even the funniest people can have their off days.
