Scripted or improv?


Nick Swardson is pretty funny. He was hilarious in Grandma's Boy. I was just wondering if he stuck to the script or if he did a lot of improv in the movie. I remember I was watching some featurettes and they said he would keep going on and on with some of the jokes. I'd like to see one of his stand up comedy shows.

He has got two stand-up albums out, you can easily get them off iTunes or whatever. They are both really funny, "Party" is funnier IMO but "S,WF" is still pretty funny.

On the commentary, they point out which lines were improvised. There is also a reel of alternative lines on the DVD and those scenes were probably improvised with a new one-liner until the majority of the crew found a joke they liked, the Apatow does.

Type in Nick Swardson Comedy Central on Youtube and you'll probably get something you'll like.
