Comedian Nick Swardson is Coming To Naples After Onstage Disaster
Ouch. Now that was rough. Poor Nick Swardson . I always dreamed about being a stand-up comic, but the thought of bombing on stage has kept me from trying. But it does happen. Even for pros. Just recently, the internet was left in utter disbelief when Nick Swardson got booted offstage during a recent gig in Colorado. I mean, it was bad. Allegedly, he was really wasted, due to mixing alcohol with edibles. Oh, and to top it off, he was battling altitude sickness. It was hard to watch.
But hey, where does a guy go after bombing that badly? Apparently, the answer is Southwest Florida, more specifically, Naples. Nick’s hitting up the Off the Hook comedy club starting March 14th. He’s got two shows lined up for Friday and Saturday, plus a single one on Sunday. With that many chances, surely one of them has got to be a hit, right? Or, at the very least, entertaining enough to watch. Now, I’ve been a fan of Nick’s ever since his days on Reno 911.

Awkward comedy isn’t usually my thing, but my buddy Marija? She eats it up. And she’s not the only one. Tickets to Nick’s shows are selling fast. If you’re thinking of catching him live, you better move it. Snag those tickets while you still can! You can grab them HERE before they’re gone. I bet Marija does.
Honestly, it’s going to be interesting to see how Nick bounces back from that whole crazy Colorado debacle. Then again, it might be good if he stays away from the booze and medicated edibles. Maybe he’ll turn it into comedy gold. Who knows? All I can say is, I’m intrigued. So, if you’re up for a show of unpredictability, Naples might just be the place to be come March 14th.

The late night comedy show debuted in the mid 70’s. Since then, great comedians have come and gone and come back again. However, some of the best in the business got their start or made their mark by being part of the SNL ensemble. It’s always fun when they return to join colleagues and the newer cast members in sketches and specials. Some of these sketches and characters have been ingrained in American culture. Many have even been made into box office hits.
Some SNL greats, Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis, Andy Samberg and Fred Armisen during the 2010 New Yorker Festival. Some amazing comedians have come through the SNL ranks.
