Uncle Floyd began his career in show business as a child performer, giving piano recitals and appearing as a dancer with Sandra Lee and Jill Davison. He danced at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York and at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. After high school, he went right to work in show biz, finding employment in circus, nite clubs, amusement parks, and as a comedian in the few remaining burlesque shows. His varied experiences in the performing arts finally led him to television where he began his own show titled The Uncle Floyd Show in New Jersey on January 29,1974. He has gone on to appear as an actor on NBC-TV Law And Order (twice) ABC-TV soap opera Loving, Bill Boggs Comedy Tonight (syndicated), Nickelodeon’s Turkey TV and has filled in for Gilbert Gottfried on USA-TV’s Up All Night. Between all this, he managed to get acting roles in several films including “Good Morning Vietnam” “Crazy People” “Mr. Wonderful” “A Pyromaniac’s Love Story” and “The Clowns Of Babylon”. Performing live, however, has always remained his first love. He has played the Catskill and Pocono mountains resorts for many years. He has also toured with or opened for many, including Jimmy Roselli, Lou Monte, Jerry Vale, Pat Cooper and Al Martino. Currently living in New Jersey, Floyd appears live about 300 nights a year.
