Iconic Kiwi comic, country music, yodelling, lesbian duo – in their own words

Jools and Lynda Topp aka The Topp Twins tell this story in their own words, describing their adventurous lives through laugh-out-loud anecdotes and heartwarming tales.

As well as their long careers as country music stars and comedians, with characters like Camp Mother & Camp Leader and Ken & Ken, the twins have always stood up for their political beliefs and have been embraced by New Zealanders from all walks of life.

Including never-before-told stories, this is a nostalgic and important historic record of the lives of two ground-breaking and inspiring women, and of the times through which they've lived.
