While there is always competition for who is best, rarely for who is worst, but then again, the Cherry Sisters are unknown today. How bad were they? I’m glad you asked! Considered the worst act in the history of Vaudeville, the Cherry Sisters from Marion, Iowa, were so bad audiences threw rotten vegetables at them. A review of the sisters described them as “creatures surpassing the witches in MACBETH in general hideousness” and “the mouths of their rancid features opened like caverns and sounds like the wailings of damned souls issued therefrom.” The sisters were brought to New York in 1898 where they appeared in the Olympia Roof Garden. The “four freaks” put on such a terrible show they performed behind a net to protect them from flying garbage. But they made money. Sometimes it pays to be the worst.
