I thought it might be Monty Python at first but the only person I recognized was Michael Palin, and they actually have an old woman playing the old woman. MP always had the men playing old women.
That is Monty Python, actually. I'm surprised you didn't know it. In my mind it's one of their better known bits.
They did often play old women themselves, but not always. Maybe they wanted a real woman to make her seem more normal in comparison to the other characters.
Is it? My brothers and I watched as much Monty Python as our PBS station woulld broadcast back in the day (1980's) but I'm sure we missed a lot. We saw the Blue Parrot sketch, the mattress sketch, the lumberjack song - some of the classics. even had an audio tape at one point (which I preferred because they actually completed their skits and so the jokes really had a chance to "build" organically rather than breaking the skits up and having them bleed into one another.)
