Presented by Out! For Reel, this concert will be The Topp Twins' first in the U.S. as they tour around the country promoting their award-winning documentary at major film festivals. (On Friday, May 21, "The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls", will be screened by Out! For Reel at 8:15 pm, at the Academy of Music.)

The Topp Twins are lesbian twin sisters whose popularity in their native New Zealand has won them the best Country Western Music Album award, their own television variety show, and induction into NZ's Music Hall of Fame.

Famous for their laugh out loud character sketches, beautiful harmonies, and amazing yodeling, The Topp Twins’ distinctive brand of entertainment includes interactive comedy theatre and a wide range of musical styles throughout their show.

“We’re not comedians,” Lynda Topp says. “We’re singers who are funny.” But their comedy sketches, filled with a cast of lovable, quirky characters, have been making audiences from coal miners to anti-nuke activists double over with laughter for years.

The Topp Twins re-invent themselves on stage, changing character and gender with ease, and deliver visually funny humor often through song. Spontaneity is a vital ingredient of the Topp Twins magic on stage and audience participation a trademark. As the Topps maxim is “we send up rather than put down”, their “guests” always feel safe on stage while unpredictable fun breaks loose.

“The Topp Twins are truly a phenomenon. They have an extraordinary effect on people, from all walks of life," states film producer Arani Cuthbert.

The Topp Twins are loved by their entire nation both LGBT and straight, young and older. They have the uncanny ability to build bridges between the LGBT and straight communities through their music and humor.

"We are thrilled and honored that Out! For Reel will be the first to present The Topp Twins in concert on their U.S. tour. The Topp Twins are really excited to perform in Northampton. It's going to be a fantastic night," says Michaels.
