New Jersey-born Floyd Vivino, better known as “Uncle Floyd”, began his career as a child prodigy tap dancer before evolving into a beloved comedian and variety performer. In 1974, he launched “The Uncle Floyd Show”, a television series that parodied popular children's programs while delivering humor aimed primarily at adults.

During the 1970s, Vivino brought his signature quirky style to Halifax’s Fabulous Lobster Trap Cabaret, delighting audiences with his offbeat comedy sets.

A lifelong champion of classic entertainment forms, Vivino hosted and starred in “The Last Authentic American Traveling Burlesque Show” in 2015, a heartfelt tribute to the lost art of traditional burlesque.

Clips from ‘The Uncle Floyd Show’ are available to watch on YouTube https://youtube.com/@unclefloydshowclips. Vivino continues to share his unique brand of humor through his ongoing podcast, which can be found at unclefloyd.podbean.com

PHAB NS acknowledges that the work we undertake takes place on Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. These lands hold histories and knowledge systems that extend beyond colonial records, including those maintained through language, oral tradition, and cultural practice. As we document and preserve the history of theatre in this region, we do so with recognition of the longstanding presence and contributions of Mi’kmaq communities. We recognize the importance of listening to and respecting Indigenous knowledge, and of acknowledging the broader historical context in which this work takes place.
