Nick Swardson

Nick Swardson started performing stand-up comedy in 1996 at the age of 19. Within his first year of stand-up, he performed at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival as one of the top new comedians in the country.

In 2000, at the age of 22, Nick reached his biggest achievement in stand-up when he was given his own half hour comedy special on Comedy Central, which became one of the highest rated specials to air on the channel. He relocated to Los Angeles and soon made appearances on The Tonight Show, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, The Late Late Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

In the summer of 2003, Swardson hit another milestone when a script he wrote with Jamie Kennedy-Malibu's Most Wanted-was green lit by Warner Bros.; the movie went on to triple it's cost at the box office.

Nick is currently developing several projects with Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison Productions. Not only did he co-star and co-produce the upcoming comedy The Benchwarmers, starring Rob Schneider, David Spade, Jon Heder and Jon Lovitz, he co-wrote with Sandler and Allen Covert.

Swardson is also developing his own show for Comedy Central called Gay Robot, and has signed a deal with Warner Bros. Records to release his own comedy album.
