Nick Swardson

Comedian/actor/writer Nick Swardson began playing St. Paul, MN's comedy club circuit when he was only 18. His mix of trashy and silly caught on quick, and with only two years under his belt, he was off to New York City, landing gigs at the Comic Strip and Caroline's. Numerous late-night television talk show appearances led to his own half-hour standup special on Comedy Central in 2000. He soon moved to Los Angeles to focus on acting and writing. The year 2003 was a breakthrough year, with Swardson co-writing the film Malibu's Most Wanted with Jamie Kennedy and taking on the reoccurring role of roller-skating male prostitute Terry on Reno 911. A year later he appeared as the "Gay Robot" on Adam Sandler's album Shhh...Don't Tell. Swardson was asked to join Sandler's Happy Madison Productions and began writing for the films Grandma's Boy and The Benchwarmers, both released in 2006. In 2007 he starred in Blades of Glory and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry along with also releasing his debut comedy album, Party. Seriously, Who Farted? followed in 2009.
