Lynn Ruth Miller : This is YOUR Future // Comedy & Cabaret Show

LYNN RUTH MILLER: THIS IS YOUR FUTURE?

Lynn Ruth Miller is the poster girl for growing old. She’s 83 years old and the only thing that frightens her is her own reflection. She’s feisty though and can tell some tales about dating octogenarians, what it’s like being the oldest stand up in the business (RIP Joan Rivers). Young people of the world, come and see your future

Doors open 8pm
Showtime 8.30pm

Queenie the senile stripper will entertain you with a collection of outrageous parodies guaranteed to put your underwear at risk. Enjoy comedy at its naked best in this 50 minute travesty of song and dance featuring Lynn Ruth Miller. 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 she bloomed so to speak, 78 years ago. Once she began presenting her prevarications to an audience larger than her three dogs, she met with amazing success.

She hit the headlines in Edinburgh in August 2005 when 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 became a legend: a show stealer and scene blocker with enough teeth left to smile wrapping her eager fans in spandex and putting wigs on the bald heads in the group. In 2008, she taught the world that the older you are, the better you get.

She was featured in The London Times and won Best of the Brighton Festival with this off-key cabaret show that glorifies even older age, reveling in the disasters it brings to the human form and the feminine mystique. In 2014 she won the TOA&ST award for best cabaret at The Edinburgh Festival , In 2015, she starred in the Bristol Burlesque Festival and in 2016 was featured May 14 in the London Burlesque Festival where they invited her back for ehir encore performance.

What they are saying:

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. ~ Mark Mc Innes Edinburgh 2006

With the modesty of youth gone, she grapples life’s dilemmas head on, and with a song. Based on her own colorful experiences, her audience are taught self help cures for impotence, incontinence, and how to enjoy old age. ~ MusicalTheaterMatters, 2008.

This show is an act of belated rebellion against the invisibility of older people, deriding the nursing-home mentality and celebrating the joys of Spandex and sparkle. Any stand-up, though providing her with this definite point of view, now plays second fiddle to the set-piece song-and- dance numbers. ~ Steve Bennett, Chortle, 2009 ​
