Nick Swardson (Nicholas Roger Swardson) Quotes

Being a good comedian is a skill, but it's also a weird thing that only certain people can do. I always equate it to surgeons and how they can just cut people open and operate. Certain people are just wired differently, and I feel like comics are the same way.
