The Boobé Sisters
The Boobé Sisters were an American comedy singing group from Los Angeles, California. They were a spoof of a 1960s girl group, consisting of actresses, songwriters, producers and comediennes Leah Finkelstein (Reneé Boobé), Heather Stewart (Fayé Boobé), and Karen Volpe (Kayé Boobé). The group became regulars at Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank. History. The idea to start a singing group was conceived by Finkelstein, who introduced Volpe and Stewart and formed the trio. Initially the group started out doing shows as a Doo-wop cover band at The Cork Lounge in Corky's Restaurant in Sherman Oaks , CA. Unsatisfied by the crowd’s lack of response, they started changing the lyrics to make the songs funny and get a reaction out of the audience. From then on they became a parody comedy group. Their songs were about the trio’s purported drug use, sexual prowess and frequent run-ins with the law, as well as their friendship and sisterhood. The group started performing at various comedy clubs throughout Los Angeles and performed at The Funny Women's Festival at iO West in November 2014. On February 27, 2016, they presented Worst Screen Combo at the 36th Golden  Raspberry Awards. In May, they appeared on season 11 of "America's Got Talent". They self-released their debut album "Greatest Tits: Volume One" on Mazel Tov Records in October and finished off the year with a short East Coast Tour to support the album. In June 2017, they performed badly on "The Gong Show" and produced and starred in their web series "Beneath the Music". In December they performed at Santathon, hosted by Fred Willard and starring Jo Anne Worley. In April 2018, they sang the National Anthem at the Lake Elsinore Storm baseball game. Karen Volpe died in  December 2019. Influences.
