About Us

Who We Are...

Jimmy's Night at the Bijou is inspired by my (Jerry Nolan)fathers legacy and love for movies. I have a fondness for movies that has brought me to where I am today. My loving wife and daughter support me along with my loyal cutomers, and fellow collectors. This website is dedicated to the 3rd show promoted by the ideals of 2nd Childhood Memorabilia. It is called- The Dean Martin Expo and Nostalgic, Comedy and Comic Convention. Can't wait to see you there!

Jerry Nolan

As co-founder of the 2nd childhood memorabilia show, I am excited for our 3rd gathering. We cherish those who embrace the days of old, when heroes, family values, and traditions were shown on TV and movies everyday. Remembering how these aspects were illuminated on the screen inspires and entices me to share the fine examples and entertainment of cinematic history with everyone. Through our memorabilia shows, we try to preserve and extend these ideals.
