Nick Swardson is promising to "make it up" to fans after a disastrous standup show ended in refunds being offered.

The comedian's performance on Sunday at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek, Colorado, was cut short, with Swardson being removed from the stage to the sound of boos, videos shared on social media showed.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Swardson for comment.

In one clip of the show posted on X, formerly Twitter, Swardson is seen promising to do an impression of Jason Statham from "The Beekeeper" but repeatedly saying "here we go" as restless audience members boo and heckle him. "Do you want me to finish this, or no?" he asks after more than a minute of setup, and people are heard shouting back, "No!"

In another video, Swardson is seen being escorted off the stage after the lights in the auditorium are turned on. A man identifying himself as the director of operations at the theater then comes out to announce, "We've decided to conclude the show early in the best interest of those who bought tickets. We apologize for what you've seen tonight. Please email the box office. We'll be responding to inquiries and processing credits and refunds."

By the time Swardson exited, his microphone appeared to have been turned off. On social media, fans accused the comedian of being "bombed out of his mind."

On Monday, Swardson took to X to address the performance.

"Just casually woke up on TMZ," he wrote, referring to an article covering the show. "Travel tip: don't drink and take edibles in high altitude. (Expletive) brain diarrhea. I'll make it up to you Beaver Creek!"
