Nick Swardson, whose full name is Nicholas Roger Swardson, was born in 1976 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is the youngest of three children born to Roger and Pamela Swardson. His father, Roger Swardson, was a journalist and editor who contributed to publications such as City Pages and the Cincinnati Enquirer. He also founded the Grand Gazette, a community newspaper serving the St. Paul area. Roger played a significant role in the revitalization of Grand Avenue, later known for its development as Victoria Crossing. Nick's parents divorced in 1989.
Details about Swardson's personal relationships remain private, and he has not publicly disclosed whether he is married or in a relationship.
Nick attended St. Paul Central High School, where he began performing improv comedy at the age of 16. Despite his early interest in comedy, Swardson had a troubled adolescence. He was known for disruptive behavior, including pulling fire alarms and smoking cigarettes during school hours, which led to four expulsions. In addition to these infractions, he engaged in fights, posted unconventional signs around school, and smoked marijuana. His behavior eventually led to participation in a rehabilitation program during his high school years.
After graduating high school, Swardson chose to forgo college and instead pursued a career in stand-up comedy. Although he had an affinity for sketch comedy, he believed stand-up would provide a more direct path into the film industry and avoided the group-based structure of comedy troupes.
Swardson began performing stand-up at age 18, starting with an open mic night at Acme Comedy Co. in Minneapolis. His unique performance style caught the attention of the club owner, who encouraged him to continue. He soon earned the title of "Funniest Person in the Twin Cities." Swardson also performed regularly at the now-defunct Knuckleheads comedy club in the Mall of America.
At age 20, Swardson was selected to perform at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, a prestigious event designed to showcase rising comedians to industry professionals. This exposure played a crucial role in launching his national career.
Swardson later gained widespread recognition for his recurring role as Terry Bernadino on the television series Reno 911! He also became closely associated with Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions, contributing to several projects under the studio's banner.
In addition to performing, Swardson has built a career as a screenwriter and film actor. He co-wrote the film Malibu's Most Wanted and starred in multiple movies including Almost Famous and LateLine. He co-wrote and played a significant role in Grandma’s Boy, a cult comedy favorite produced by Happy Madison.
He also created and starred in his own sketch comedy series, Nick Swardson’s Pretend Time, which aired on Comedy Central and showcased his eclectic humor and creative range.
Today, Nick Swardson is recognized as a versatile entertainer—working as a stand-up comedian, screenwriter, actor, and producer. His estimated net worth is around $5 million. He began earning income from comedy as a teenager and has since built a successful career by blending irreverent humor with mainstream appeal.
