THe clues don't have definitions

I could answer very few

Please help me .

1a

Sort of woman relative,primarily - i.e not son (3,7)

Is it anagram of 

Wrienotson?

6a somewhat daunting (4)

Is it the 4 letter word in daunting?

2d

A resident between Mexico and Canada at the far ends? (5)

If this starts with M , my logic for 1a is wrong 

Top synonym for go?(6)

Does it start with T? If my logic for 6a is correct.

Thanks for all your support 

 

[Loki2034]

Yes to 1a  and 6a

[JJ109]

2d starts with O and ends in A

[JJ109]

Top synonym does indeed start with T

[LeenaH]

Is 1 a an opera?

Because this combination dosen't create words in chambers anagram finder

Thanks 

[JJ109]

no - 1a is a "pair" of comedians responsible for the sketch! (The 3,7)

13a Take in, as in a word for view (4 letters) + a + a four letterword for "dig" as in do you "dig" it!

LeenaH - do you have the sketch yet and the performers of it? If you have then watch it as that will give you the theme of the crossword and where to find the definitions of each clue, and the puzzle will then become a lot easier!
