A lot of people mistakenly think Nick Swardson is gay. It’s understandable. He played Terry Bernadino, a gay, roller-blading male prostitute, in Reno 911. And Hector, an obsessive fan who stalks a male figure skater, in Blades of Glory. And a gay robot in the made-for-TV movie, Gay Robot. Plenty of people think he’s a stoner, too. This is also understandable. A good portion of Swardson’s stand-up is about the dopeness of weed, and in the movie Grandma’s Boy he plays Jeff, a pot-smoking computer programmer who lives with his parents and sleeps in a race car bed. He may also be a booze hound — the top two tracks from Swardson’s comedy albums on Spotify are titled “Booze is Magic” and “Booze is Amazing.” He may be a little bit of all these things. But taken together, what is Nick Swardson, really? Funny.
