The Topp Twins

The Topp Twins are New Zealand’s iconic folk-country comedy duo, made up of sisters Jools and Lynda Topp. Born on a dairy farm in the 1950s, these openly lesbian entertainers have been blending heartfelt harmonies, cheeky humor, and social activism since the 1980s. Known for their live shows packed with yodeling, original songs, and hilarious character creations (like the posh Kensington Twins or bowling fanatic “Brenda”), they’ve become national treasures, celebrating rural life and LGBTQ+ pride with equal warmth. Their music spans playful kids’ tunes (like their “Sing 20 Songs For Kids” album featuring barnyard classics) to protest anthems advocating for peace and environmental causes.

With a career spanning decades, the Twins’ charm lies in their authenticity—they’re down-to-earth farm girls turned global cult icons. Their documentary *Untouchable Girls* (2009) cemented their legacy as pioneers of Kiwi culture, showing off their music, comedy, and unwavering activism. Whether singing about cowgirls, political issues, or a “Grass Highway,” Jools and Lynda keep audiences grinning while staying true to their roots. In 2018, they were even appointed Members of the NZ Order of Merit for services to entertainment—proof that you can yodel your way into hearts *and* history books.
