Uncle Floyd heads to Wild West City

BYRAM — The legendary Uncle Floyd, a cable star before there was cable TV, is bringing his zany sense of humor and antics to a place close to his heart - Wild West City - for a special show on Friday night July 24. Show time is 8 p.m. and tickets are $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. And that’s where he’ll perform on July 24. Uncle Floyd, born and raised in Jersey, recently “threatened” to enter the NJ governor’s race and “close down Trenton!” “Just maybe I’ll run,” he said with a smirk. Easily recognizable by his out-of-fashion signature plaid suits and straw hat, Uncle Floyd is a true icon. 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.” Tickets may be purchased at the door. For further information on the show, call 973-993-4898. For directions to Wild West City, visit www.wildwestcity.com.
