Stand-up comedian and actor Nick Swardson had to be removed from stage during a recent stand-up comedy performance for being ‘incoherent’ and too drunk.
According to a Twitter user who was in attendance at Swardon’s show in Beaver Creek, Colorado, on Sunday, March 3, the 47-year-old Swardson was “bombed out of his mind” while performing and was engaging in “incoherent rambling” that led to his show being ended earlier.

In an email to customers, the venue — the Vilar Performing Arts Center — apologized and said they would be refunding all tickets, according to TMZ.
“We apologize for the negative experience you may have had at this evening’s performance with Nick Swardson. Unfortunately, this show did not meet the Vilar Performing Arts Center’s standards as a world-class presenter of the performing arts,” the email reads.
“Therefore, all tickets will be refunded to the original payment method. Please accept our sincere apologies, and be in touch if there is anything we can do to further assist you.”
During a period in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Swardson became quite a star thanks to his famous friendships, particularly with Adam Sandler.
From 2005 to 2013, for example, Swardson featured in seven Sandler films: Click, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, Bedtime Stories, Just Go with It, Jack and Jill, and That’s My Boy.
Swardson has also had parts in projects such as Grandma’s Boy, Reno 911!: Miami, The House Bunny, Bolt, Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star, 30 Miutes of Less, Grow Ups 2, Hotel Transylvania 2, The Ridiculous 6, The Do-Over, Sandy Wexler, Buddy Games, The Wrong Missy, and Leo.
