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.
