From a press release:

It was announced today that comedian and actor Nick Swardson will embark on a new national stand-up tour. Renowned for his unfiltered humor and razor-sharp wit, he promises to tackle the hard-hitting issues of our time, from the discomforts of diarrhea to the highs and lows of edibles, all the way to the enigmatic charm of Norm MacDonald.

Produced by Live Nation, the 37-city Toilet Head Tour kicks off in September, with a performance at the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Theatre inside the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7 p.m.

With a career spanning over 26 years, Swardson has cemented his status as a comedy icon. From his memorable collaborations with Adam Sandler to his scene-stealing role as Terry in “Reno 911” to his unforgettable performances in cult classics like “Grandma’s Boy” and “Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star,” his comedic prowess knows no bounds. Not to mention his own comedic creations, including Comedy Central’s “Pretend Time” and “Typical Rick.”

As the 47-year-old Minnesota native gears up for his sixth stand-up special, audiences can expect nothing short of an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, surprises, and perhaps a few unexpected smells along the way. Swardson’s unique brand of comedy transcends the ordinary, offering audiences an escape into a world where hilarity reigns supreme.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and a cash bar and concessions will be available. Tickets, which start at $48.20, can be purchased beginning this Friday, May 17 at 10 a.m. in person at the Fidelity Bank Box Office at the SCC (420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton), online at ticketmaster.com, and by phone at 570-344-1111. A pre-sale starts Thursday, May 16 at 10 a.m. using the code FIDELITY.
