Singing.
This couple seem to be unable to gauge their ability. Opening with a few comic opera selections they display quite a vocal and score heavily. After thus placing themselves in good standing they try for comedy honors, which should not be. The comedy employed is almost gray with age, including having a bunch of flowers handed to the woman, while the man receives a bunch of beets. Although the audience seemed to enjoy their nonsensical fun, it should be replaced by straight singing, which should give the act better value.
