Uncle Floyd returns to Wild West City
BYRAM — Uncle Floyd will bring his zany sense of humor and antics to a place that is very close to his heart - Wild West City - on Saturday Aug. 11. Show time is 8 p.m. and tickets are just $15 apiece. Wild West City is located near Routes 206, 46 and 80.
For several years, Uncle Floyd was the piano player at the Golden Nugget Saloon at Wild West City. Uncle Floyd, born and raised in Jersey, was a cable star "before there was cable."
"I love performing at Wild West City," said Uncle Floyd. "It will always have a place in my heart. It's an iconic institution."
Some call Uncle Floyd an iconic institution, too. Easily recognizable by his out-of-fashion signature plaid suits and straw hat, has been a part of the New York area metro scene since the 1970s. His TV show, the Uncle Floyd Show, appeared on many cable systems over the years; not just in New Jersey but throughout the United States. Many refered to his TV show as "TV's strangest adult kiddie show."
In addition, Uncle Floyd regularly performs his unforgettably hilarious shows at nightclubs throughout the tri-state area where he enjoys a solid fan base and mixes comedy with song while playing rip-roaring tunes on the piano. He has opened for Chubby Checker, Connie Francis, Jerry Vale, Pat Cooper, Melba Moore, Leon Redbone, Jimmy Roselli and hundreds of other big name stars.
Uncle Floyd has also appeared on numerous TV shows and movies, including "Good Morning Vietnam," "Law & Order" and "Cosby" and has recorded several CDs.
Tickets, $15 each, are general admission and can be purchased at the door. For directions to Wild West City, visit wildwestcity.com.
