Comedian Nick Swardson booed off stage for appearing drunk

Comedian Nick Swardson escorted off stage due to bizarre behavior during comedy set, audience heckles, refunds issued to disappointed attendees.

Comedian Nick Swardson's recent performance at the Vilar Performing Arts Centre in Colorado took an unexpected turn as he was escorted off stage due to his behaviour. The 47-year-old, known for his roles in Reno 911!, Blades Of Glory, and Grown Ups 2, was headlining the show when he began exhibiting strange behaviour that led to audience heckling.

Just 20 minutes into his set, Swardson appeared to be slurring his words, rambling, and struggling to maintain the crowd's attention. A viral clip from the show captured one audience member questioning what Swardson had smoked before coming on stage. One particular segment involving an impersonation of Jason Statham fell flat, with audience members expressing their frustration and disappointment.

The crowd's reaction escalated to booing, prompting the venue to cut Swardson's microphone and turn off the spotlights. As he was led off stage, Swardson referenced the late comedian Norm Macdonald and received a mixed response from the audience, with some cheering him on and others demanding a refund.

After the incident, the director of operations addressed the audience, apologizing for the negative experience and announcing that refunds would be issued. An email was later sent to guests, expressing regret for the show not meeting the venue's standards and offering further assistance if needed.

Overall, the evening ended on a disappointing note for both Swardson and the audience, highlighting the unpredictable nature of live performances and the importance of maintaining professionalism on stage.
