Comedian Nick Swardson was escorted off stage by security during a recent gig - leaving the audience seemingly furious and demanding for a 'refund'.

On Monday (March 4), the 47-year-old was doing a stand-up set in Beaver Creek, Colorado.

However, this show was far from the success that the comedian would have hoped for.

The Just Go with It star was performing as the headliner at the Vilar Performing Arts Center when things took an unexpected turn.

Multiple clips of the incident have since been posted to social media, with the audience shown being left visibly unimpressed.

In one clip posted to X - formerly known as Twitter - Swardson was attempting to 'rally' the crowd as he attempts to get them onside.

However, this is very much a painful watch as the comedian tries to impersonates actor Jason Statham - but never actually gets to the punchline.

The ramble very much leaves the crowd with a sour taste in their mouth, as boos could be heard across the venue.

Videos online also depicted words uttered towards Swardson during his recent performance, as one off-camera audience members could be heard saying the set is 'so bad, it’s historical'.

“I can’t take it, I can’t take it, I can’t take it,” another woman could also be heard saying.

While some just simply shouted out 'refund'.

A man can then be seen arriving on stage to talk with Swardson before the comedian left the stage.

The man, who revealed himself to be the venue’s director of operations, told the crowd that the show had been cut short.

"We decided to conclude the show early in the best interests of those who bought tickets," he said. "We apologize for what you’ve seen tonight. Please email the box office. They’ll be responding to inquiries and processing credits and refunds. We apologize."

As reported by TMZ, an email from the venue also said: "We apologize for the negative experience you may have had at this evening’s performance with Nick Swardson.

"Unfortunately, this show did not meet the Vilar Performing Arts Center’s standards as a world-class presenter of the performing arts."

"Therefore, all tickets will be refunded to the original payment method. Please accept our sincere apologies, and be in touch if there is anything we can do to further assist you."

Swardson has since responded to all the noise, penning on X: "Just casually woke up on TMZ. Travel tip: don’t drink and take edibles in high altitude.

"F**king brain diarrhea. I’ll make it up to you Beaver Creek!"

UNILAD has reached out to Swardson's representatives and the Vilar Performing Arts Center for further comment.
