This sister act was seventeen minutes long.
The younger and smaller woman plays the straight and the other is the eccentric comedienne. The straight does a “Yiddish” rag while the comedienne changes into a green dress for her Irish monologue. They are both dressed as boys for the finale, which is a college football song. The comedienne is dressed in flowing trousers and a sweater.
Their comedic material (particularly the monologues) is far better than the real "sister act" parts of the performance. They are good for the small time.
