Danielle Colby Hosts Burlesque Show in Rock Island, Illinois

Danielle Colby, known for her role on American Pickers, hosted a sultry burlesque performance under the stage name Danny Diesel on Friday, October 4th, 2024, at the Skylock in Rock Island, Illinois. The show was a highly anticipated event that featured Danielle and several other performers dancing to seductive music with creative, interactive elements.

Danielle opened the night with a performance to Cypress Hill’s Hits from the Bong, incorporating large green feathers that evoked marijuana leaves as props. She wore a green bejeweled corset and matching headpiece, and progressively stripped down during the performance to marijuana-leaf pasties and a thong. The crowd cheered as Danielle engaged with them through playful and interactive moments, like encouraging audience members to toss dollar bills at her as part of a fun, flirty game.

The show had a relaxed and celebratory atmosphere, with fans encouraged to film the performances. Around 40 people attended, including Danielle’s family and friends. Danielle’s daughter Memphis helped collect tickets at the door, creating a family-oriented vibe for the event.

Despite the playful nature of the event, Danielle had recently been mourning the loss of her American Pickers co-star Frank Fritz, who passed away on September 30th, 2024, at the age of 60, following a prolonged health battle after suffering a stroke in 2022. Danielle paid tribute to Frank on social media, reflecting on their shared memories and the bond they had formed over the years.

Frank Fritz’s Health Struggles and Passing

Frank’s health had been deteriorating for some time, with complications from his stroke and a battle with Crohn’s disease. His passing left a significant hole in the American Pickers family, with many fans remembering him for his humor and spontaneous personality. Despite his health issues, Frank was a key part of the show, and his friend, Jerry Gendro, expressed that Frank would have returned to American Pickers had his health allowed. Frank’s contribution to the show was compared to the legendary partnership of Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, with Frank often serving as the spontaneous, humorous counterpart to Mike Wolfe’s more serious nature.

Danielle’s show was both a creative outlet and a way for her to process her grief following Frank’s passing. Moving forward, she continues to engage with her fans through burlesque and other performances while also honoring the legacy of her late co-star.
