Danielle is headlining the The Dannie Diesel Dope Show at Reggie’s in Chicago.

The event is hosted by Riot Fest, and her fans can already buy tickets for the September 15 show.

In the caption of her post, the event is described as “a weed-fueled, fan dance and striptease celebration of all things dope.”

The show will feature a variety of different burlesque dancers, including the American Pickers star.

The acts will feature dancers from Chicago and Puerto Rico, where Danielle has also performed.

In addition to burlesque, the caption promises that there will be pole dancing, fire eating, sword swallowing, circus arts, contortion, and more.

TOO LOW

The most recent season of American Pickers has been facing a struggle with ratings.

The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the August 23 episode had the lowest amount of viewers this season at only 620,000.

In comparison, the episodes on August 16 and August 9 had 706,000 and 778,000 viewers respectively.

Things were even better the month prior when the show got 885,000 viewers for its July 26 episode.

Unfortunately, only 713,000 people tuned in on July 19, and 803,000 people watched the July 12 show. 

On August 29, fans were frustrated after a rerun was aired instead of a new episode.

On Facebook, one critic wrote: “We are thinking the same thing. Why does it say this is a ‘new’ episode!”

A second person commented: “Another ‘Best of’ episode is not ‘New.’ It’s literally the opposite of new.”

MISSING IN ACTION

A source spoke exclusively to The U.S. Sun and revealed that Danielle only appeared at the Iowa store to film for the show.

She is the Shop Manager of Mike Wolfe’s store Antique Archeology in both Iowa and Nashville, Tennessee.

Her position is supposed to oversee operations, find leads for the pickers, and find antiques of her own.

But, according to the source, Danielle is only involved with the store when it’s filled with cameras.

The source claimed: “Danielle is only usually here for filming. She’s a picker now and she lives in Puerto Rico so she comes back and forth just for that.”

They also claimed that the stores hid their Antique Archaeology merchandise during filming. 

The source said: “The logo for Antique Archaeology can’t be on the show because of American Pickers.

“All of the merchandise goes off the floor. The staff has to pick it all up and put it back where it goes.”
