John Floyd first did stand-up in a school talent show when he was only 8 years old and he has been making people laugh ever since. His squeaky clean act is proof that you don’t have to talk dirty to be funny. Though his accent is as southern as bowl of grits, his act is not regional. In fact, he has performed in 40 states and Canada, as well as being a regular entertainer for Carnival Cruise Lines where his ship received the highest comedy rating in their fleet in both 2007 and 2009.
