Dave Sinker: Comedy Memorabilia

Dave Sinker combines his passions for performing standup comedy and collecting comedy memorabilia into The Comedy Shrine, a comedy club and museum that houses thousands of comedy-themed collectibles. This former Second City performer tracks down some of the rarest collectibles, from an early 1900s Charlie Chaplin mutoscope to immaculately kept wax figurines and a lunchbox worth over $2000. Dave celebrates comedians throughout the ages with a collection that appeals to all generations. Joining Lisa and Dave is Dave’s son and general manager of The Comedy Shrine, Patrick, and expert appraiser Judy Martin. Judy brings signed memorabilia from a famous comedy duo to trade, but our collector struggles to let go of a prized possession.
