Comedian Nick Swardson blames alcohol and edibles for his failure at a stand-up show in Colorado over the weekend, where he was booed and escorted off stage.
Swardson, known for his work in several Adam Sandler productions such as “Just Go With It” and for his role in the comedy series “Reno 911!”, performed at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek on Sunday.
But his show was apparently not a hit with fans, as he rambled on without arriving at impressions and the restless crowd screamed and booed.
On Monday, Swardson addressed the program on x, writing: “I casually woke up on TMZ. Travel tip: Do not drink or carry food at high altitudes. F—— cerebral diarrhea.”
“I’ll make it up to you, Beaver Creek!” he added she.
Video of the performance posted on social media showed Swardson saying he will do an impression of Jason Statham in the 2024 film “Beekeeper” and continuing for several seconds saying “here we go, here we go, okay, here we go” without understanding the real impression.
The crowd seemed restless after more than a minute of this, shouting, whistling and booing. At one point, the star asked the crowd, “Do you want this to end or not?” And the people shouted loudly: “No!”
Another clip showed the theater lights on and Swardson’s stage spotlight turned off, along with his microphone. A man then appeared on stage and spoke to Swardson, and he walked off stage with a wave of his hand.
A man who identified himself as director of operations came on stage and apologized for the spectacle.
“We decided to end the show early for the sake of those who bought the tickets,” the man said. “We apologize for what you saw tonight. Email the box office. They will be answering inquiries and processing credits and refunds. We apologize.”
Some people in the crowd seemed upset that the show was cut early.
Representatives for Swardson and the Vilar Performing Arts Center did not immediately respond to NBC News’ requests for comment.
