Floyd J Phillips is a professional stand up comedian living in Grand Rapids, MI, originally from Chicago. What makes this genius funny is going through more than his fair share of adversity. Not only was Floyd one of five children in a poor household with no daddy around, but he was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease in 1986 and had to wait for a donor. That’s right: for Floyd to live…someone had to die. “I waited two years on the transplant list….I took a job answering phones at the suicide hotline trying to convince people to not jump off a bridge…but to go home and kill themselves in a tub filled with ice. LO muther L!!! It’s my transplant! My joke! I apologize for NUTHIN’. I can joke about anything now. I’M ALIVE!!! Now I continue my career as a comedian traveling all around the WORLD. That’s right. My travels took me to Afghanistan recently, where I performed for the troops. Trust me…When you can bring laughter to people who are seeing death everyday…YOU KNOW YOU’RE FUNNY, and I can’t wait to make all of YOU laugh your faces off!!!”
