Ventriloquist comedian Jeff Dunham sat for a rare photo shoot, with one of his onstage colleagues, Diane, by contributing photographer Erik Kabik ahead of his shows at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace last night and tonight during the 2010 Labor Day holiday weekend.

Dunham and Diane, the lady in red, shared a plate of fresh pasta and Rao’s signature wine during their lunch at Rao’s in Caesars Palace. This was Diane’s first photo shoot after Dunham created and debuted her in the big-screen comedy Dinner for Schmucks by Jay Roach in which Dunham portrays Lewis the Ventriloquist.

Dunham returns to Las Vegas in December. Thanks to contributing photographer Kabik for this entertaining photo gallery that isn’t just for dummies. The looks on Diane’s face are priceless!
