Following the hugely successful first weekend at The Orleans Showroom, the second round of the The Orleans Summer Comedy Series starring comedian, actor and host of NBC's The Marriage Ref Tom Papa continues June 25-26, this time with special guest comedian Bill Burr.

As a stand-up comic, Papa has recorded specials for Comedy Central and Steven Soderbergh is directing his next special due later in 2010. As an actor, Papa starred opposite Matt Damon in The Informant! and has appeared in Analyze That and Comedian.

Papa's voice will also be heard in the upcoming animated feature The Haunted World of El Super Beasto, as he voices the title character. On the small screen, Papa appeared in a recurring role on the CBS sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine.

Having worked the Comedy Club circuit for years and appeared in small roles on television programs such as Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, funnyman Bill Burr may be most recognized for his recurring role on Chappelle's Show. He has filmed several comedy specials including an HBO One Night Stand and most recently the Comedy Central special, Bill Burr: Why Do I Do This? A regular on Late Show with David Letterman, Burr also produces a weekly podcast available on his website, The Monday Morning Podcast, featuring his stand-up, radio appearances and other topical audio clips.
