Enjoy Holiday Hijinks with the Singing Sisters of Nunsense

The hilarious sisters of Nunsense are back, spreading yuletide laughs, cheerful carols and the gift of festive mischief. From the basement of Mount Saint Helen’s Convent, they take to the airwaves to broadcast a new cable access Christmas special: complete with (mostly) traditional holiday songs ("Here We Come-a-Waffle-ing,” "We Three Kings of Orient Are Us”), a silly secret Santa contest, a not-so-graceful take on Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet and loads of laughs that only the Little Sisters of Hoboken can provide. Can this show get its act together? You’ll be laughing all the way through New Year’s finding out!

"Immensely entertaining. It doesn't get any better!” – CBS News

“A joyful feeling of Christmas. It’s fun and funny, and a pleasure to be among so many folks who, like me, are ready for some Christmas cheer. Smiles filled the house throughout the show. I dare even the grinchiest not to crack a smile.”
