Uncle Floyd returns to Wild West City Friday night

BYRAM TWP. - “Uncle Floyd” will bring his sense of humor and antics to Wild West City in Byram tomorrow, Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. For several years, Uncle Floyd was the piano player at the Golden Nugget Saloon at Wild West City. Over the summer, he performed before a sellout crowd prompting a return engagement on Friday. Uncle Floyd, born and raised in New Jersey, was a cable star “before there was cable,” according to organizers. A part of the New York area metro scene since the 1970s, his show, “The Uncle Floyd Show,” has appeared on many cable systems over the years, not just in New Jersey but throughout the United States. Many refer to his TV show as “TV’s strangest adult kiddie show.” He can also be heard on weekly on Sirius Satellite Radio, as a regular on “The Wiseguy Show.” In addition, Uncle Floyd regularly performs his shows at nightclubs throughout the tri-state area where he enjoys a solid fan base and mixes comedy with song while playing tunes on the piano. He has opened for Chubby Checker, Connie Francis, Jerry Vale, Pat Cooper, Melba Moore, Leon Redbone, Jimmy Roselli and others. Uncle Floyd has also appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, including “Good Morning Vietnam,” “Law and Order” and “Cosby” and he has recorded several CDs. Tickets, $15 each, may be purchased at the door. Reservations may also be made in advance. For further information, call 973-993-4898. For directions to Wild West City, visit www.wildwestcity.com.
