‘American Pickers’ Danielle Colby Shares Major Career News After Mystery Illness originally appeared on Parade.
American Pickers star Danielle Colby unveiled a “dazzling” new burlesque event after she was forced to cancel shows in December because of a mystery illness.
On Tuesday, June 3, the History Channel star, 49, took to Instagram to announce the major career news.
“Welcome our announcement Saturday August 9th Headliner The Queen of Rust International Showgirl Danielle Colby from American Pickers,” the Ohio Burlesque Festival revealed in a joint post with Colby @dannie_diesel_ecdysiast.”
Colby—who performs burlesque under the stage name Dannie Diesel—put on a leggy display in the featured flyer while donning a leopard-print bodysuit with a red cape.
For those hoping to attend, doors for Colby’s Aug. 9 event open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m. at the Beachland Ballroom & Tavern in Cleveland, Ohio. General admission is $30 in advance and $35 at the door.
“Don’t miss out on the most dazzling event of the summer! 💃,” the Ohio Burlesque Festival teased.
In the comments, Colby replied, “I’m soooooooo excited for this!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
One Instagram follower also reacted to the huge career update, writing, “Swooooooon 😍😍😍😍.”
Colby’s return to the burlesque stage comes after she was forced to cancel shows in December due to a family health issue. The history fanatic soon took a break from social media before returning in April.
That same month, she also addressed a personal health issue on Instagram.
“The last time I wore this costume I was in very bad health,” she revealed. “This night in this photo was extremely painful and frightening, but I survived it and I cannot wait to wear this costume again with much more confidence and peace.”
Colby has been busy in recent months, as she announced an exciting career switch-up opening soon in Davenport, Iowa. (Meanwhile, her American Pickers co-star, Mike Wolfe, has revealed major career news of his own.)
Hopefully, this is just the beginning of many burlesque shows to come!
