Chaz Chase was best remembered for his penchant for eating anything in sight, including lit matches, cigarettes, flowers, the cardboard dickey that he wore and any number of other indigestible items.
He would generally follow this up with a comedy striptease.
He did an eight-year run at the Crazy Horse Saloon in Paris, and also was a staple at the old Latin Quarter in New York.
He also did a U.S.O. tour with Bob Hope and other luminaries.
In his later years he toured in "Sugar Babies" and appeared on one of the first shows of "Late Night With David Letterman" in February, 1982.
He also appeared in musicals and several films, including "West of Zanzibar" (1928), "Adventure in Paris" (1936), "Start Cheering" (1938)
and "The Man on the Eiffel Tower" (1949, as a waiter). He also starred in the short film "Chaz Chase, the Unique Comedian" (1928).
He was survived by his daughter, seven grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
