She was a roller skater and used to perform at Big Mouth Mickies as a child. She won community honors while playing for her team, which she also supervised. However, a few injuries caused her to give up the game.
Danielle Colby participated in the American reality TV show ‘American Pickers’, hosted by her co-star, Mike Wolfe.
After Mike Wolfe figured out how to syndicate the show to the History Channel, he asked Danielle Colby to take over Mike Wolfe’s business, ‘Classical Archeology,’ from the company’s offices. The show featured Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz traveling the country to assemble antiques to offer to curious buyers. As the show grew in popularity—it was named the number one real series of the year in 2010—Danielle Colby began to gain attention in the process.
She saw a Chicago cabaret company that included Satan’s Angel performer Helen Walker and stand-up comedian Margaret Cho. The idea really took Danielle Colby by surprise, and she eventually decided to start her own cabaret company.
