Is "floor show" some kind of a wordplay? English is not my mother tongue so I have to ask.

"Floor Show" is not ultra-common vocab but it means the lineup of acts and entertainment at a club.

Even not knowing that, native speakers would see there is a pun going on via the more common idiomatic phrase "[the] greatest show in town" - historically often used by travelling circuses etc to advertise themselves.
