Nick Swardson — better known as Reno 911's gay prostitute on roller skates — is coming to the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center on Friday. The Minneapolis native is a college favorite who wrote the screenplays for Malibu's Most Wanted and The Benchwarmers, and appeared in Blades of Glory and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry — which means he has serious dude cred. It's only going to grow next month when he's featured in the Adam Sandler movie Don't Mess with the Zohan. Catch him at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Ferguson Hall at Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, 1010 N MacInnes Place, Tampa. $29.50. (813) 229-7827. tbpac.org.
