Nick Swardson

Thursday, October 2, 2014 | 8pm

 

Comedian, actor and writer Nick Swardson may best be known as "that guy from the Adam Sandler movies," but he's actually got a successful comedy career of his very own. Starting out in improv but switching to stand-up a few years later, Swardson delivers high energy, incredibly silly comedy that often focuses on partying and sex.

 

In 2003, Swardson co-wrote the screenplay for Malibu's Most Wanted along with the film's star Jamie Kennedy and Adam Small. That same year he took on the role of Terry Bernadino on the Comedy Central series Reno 911! A recurring character throughout the series' run from 2003 to 2009 — in addition to appearing in the film Reno 911!: Miami — Swardson played the role of a flamboyant gigolo who was often seen wearing roller skates. 2003 also marked the beginning of a longtime working relationship and friendship with Adam Sandler.

 

Swardson's sketch comedy show Nick Swardson's Pretend Time, premiered on Comedy Central in October 2010, ran for two seasons, and was produced in conjunction with Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions.  In 2011, Swardson starred in, co-wrote, and co-produced the film Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star, also produced by Happy Madison Productions. That same year he starred alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari in the film 30 Minutes or Less.
