In videos taken by attendees, Swardson can be heard slurring his words onstage before being removed by security.

Swardson blamed the fact that he consumed an excessive amount of THC edibles and alcohol, which caused him to experience what he called "brain diarrhea."

This is not the first time that a comedian has been pulled off stage during a show because of word slurring resulting from consuming too many THC-infused edibles, as a similar incident took place at the Avalon Theater in Grand Junction involving the late Ralphie May.
