It's been nearly a decade since New Zealand's most famous sisters the Topp Twins last played Tauranga – but that will change next week.

An intimate evening of comedy, stories and songs are on the cards when sisters Jools and Linda presents An Evening with The Topp Twins at Baycourt Community & Arts Theatre on November 6.

'We always get a bit itchy feet to get back on the stage again,” says Jools. "That's where we get to play all our characters and have some fun with the audiences.

'What's cool is every time we do a national tour, Baycourt has always been booked out so we're excited to be finally coming back, we can do the same thing and no-one will remember.”

A yodel or two is also sure to feature during the iconic duo's show, along with the Twins' infamous alter-egos the Kens, Camp Mother and Camp Leader, and of course, the Bowling Ladies.

When asked who their favourite characters are to play, Jools gets a kick out of ‘Camp Leader', while Linda is a fan of 'good ol' Ken Moller”.

'Ken's such an easy character to play now, we can put him in any situation and he'll know what to say,” explains Linda. 'He can talk to women, men, babies, politicians. Ol' Ken's a man of the world these days.

'While Jools loves playing Camp Leader, it's a character that is so out of control I never know what she's going to do, and that's really exciting for me on stage.”

The Twins say next week's show will be the whole package featuring tons of spontaneity plus 'a little bit of old, a little bit of new and a little bit of pink.”

While the Bowling Ladies have also requested everyone brings a plate for supper after the show.

'No don't say that it'll be a disaster, there'll be nothing but Polish sponge cake the whole night,” says Linda with a laugh.
