What do a road-weathered biker dude and a wannabe society gal have in common? They’re both hilarious and played five shows together at the Lakeshore.

THE BIKER - At first glance, Wild Willy Parsons' biker get-up and escaped-prisoner look might seem a little scary, but his views on life, family and fatherhood send audiences home with an unexpected outlook regarding misconceptions of the stereotypical biker image. Renowned as "The Original Biker Comic,” he was the “Audience Pick” on season four of Last Comic Standing by an overwhelming internet-and-phone based voting victory. His dozens of TV credits include every major talk show as well as Tracy Takes On and That 80s Show. Parsons is a comic, actor and Emmy Award winning writer who has collaborated with artists such as Richard Jeni, Dennis Miller and Roseanne Barr. A rapid-fire Human Joke Machine, Willy is equally at home headlining a Vegas casino as he is playing the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival or at the annual Harley-Davidson anniversary bashes.

THE BABE - Hot on the heels of her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the glamorous and equally hilarious Natasha Leggero returns following her Lakeshore debut when she first worked our stage with Todd Barry. Between juggling slots on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and hosting MTV's 70's House, she had reoccurring roles playing various deviants on Comedy Central's Reno 911. Don't judge a book by its cover: She may look like a waifish debutante but her acerbic wit is like a cobra sting delivered from the tail of a swan - Don Rickles in Audrey Hebburn couture!

Old School vs. New School, Hipster vs. Dragster, Biker vs. Babe: Call it what you will, this is an amazing comedy double bill has something for everyone. This pairing, that features a rotating cast of amazing opening acts (including 2007 “Funniest Person in Chicago” contest winner Hannibal Burress), is a guaranteed good time for all.
