Biography
This multi-faceted comic appeared first in burlesque - usually as "second banana" to a star comedian (oft-times Phil Silvers) - and then appeared successfully on the legitimate stage, in film, on television and in adverts. He claimed credit for two of vaudeville's more renowned pieces of business: "Floogle Street" and "Slowly I Turn," the latter later popularised more widely by Abbott & Costello (see Bud Abbott and Lou Costello) and also by the sometime team of Ben Blue and Sid Fields. Joey Faye continued working even while well into his 80s.
