Edinburgh’s
favorite senile stripper, Lynn Ruth Miller is back with a collection of outrageous
parodies that reveal the real joy of aging. Don’t miss this nightly 50
minute travesty of song and dance featuring the festival show stealer for the past three
Fringe Festivals, winner of the 2008 Three Weeks Editors Award and 2009
Brighton’s Latest Magazine’s Star of the Festival Award. This is
musical comedy at its worst proving that even though your body parts drop to your ankles,
they still can move with enough zest raise an eyebrow if nothing else.
Lynn Ruth Miller had been remodeling facts since
Eve ate fruit. Once she began presenting her prevarications to an audience larger
than her four dogs, she hit the headlines in Edinburgh in August 2005 because she jumped
out of a cake (almost) and removed her clothes (not quite) on every stage that would have
her. Her fame spread when she threw her underwear at the audience at the Carleton
Hotel that same year. In 2006, she stole every show by wrapping her
eager fans in spandex and putting wigs on needy bald pates. In 2008, her
antics hit the headlines of The London Times and now she is back again with another
off-key cabaret show that glorifies old age and revels in the disasters it brings to the
human form.
"Gleefully sticking two fingers up to all
expectations of how a 75-year-old
should behave, Lynn Ruth Miller serves up a unique, life-affirming variety
act. From the opening burlesque number, in which she strips down to her antique
undergarments, this tiny ball of tireless enthusiasm simply celebrates human
existence, free of any concept of embarrassment…. an act of belated rebellion against
the invisibility of older people, deriding the nursing-home mentality and celebrating the
joys of Spandex and sparkle."- Steve Bennett; Chortle, 2009
“Lynn Ruth Miller is a true original, a
unique and vivacious artist - writer, raconteur, singer, burlesque performer, satirist and
comic. She appeared several times at the late-night cabaret, the Midnight Carousel,
and never failed to bring the house down. She is inspiration to younger and less
energetic artists like me.” Dusty Limits
“Lynn Ruth Miller doesn't hold
back. If you've ever looked ahead and wondered what's it going to be like, you're about to
get all your questions answered. Lynn Ruth will have you bent in half with her brutally
honest observations. Fresh, revealing, and with brilliant comedic timing, Lynn Ruth Miller
will entertain you in a well rounded show.” - Ty McKenzie, Producer of Chick Wit
