Chaz Chase

Chase made his name in vaudeville and burlesque in the 1920's, mostly by eating anything and everything such as cardboard, flowers, and even lit matches, cigars and cigarettes. He also appeared cameo-like in several movies and then, when the offers dried up, went on the carnival circuit for 20 years. In the 1950s, he made guest appearances on variety shows and in nightclubs and even showed up on Letterman before his death.
