Podcast appearances and mentions of lynn ruth

Foozled It is the comedy podcast about how making mistakes makes success.  Lynn Ruth Miller, the world's oldest standup comic regails us with stories of her first burlesque show and we discuss how fighting the status quo starts with you. Years of experience taught Lynn Ruth to be herself and stand up for herself, not only because no one else will, but because by standing tall you give the next people strong shoulders to stand on.  You can find Lynn Ruth on Instagram @lynnruthmiller and Facebook Lynn Ruth Miller. Get her book "Getting the last laugh" on Amazon. 

At an age when most people are struggling to get out of bed, Lynn Ruth Miller is running circles around people half her age. Now 87, this octogenarian energizer bunny, has solidified a comedy career on both sides of the Atlantic, a career that didn’t even start until age 70.   Some say the best comedy comes from pain. This could explain Lynn Ruth‘s stand-up success.  Aside from her advanced years, which truly sets  apart from most comedians, her life journey included a severely dysfunctional upbringing, two failed marriages, anorexia and surprise, low self-esteem.  Not only did Lynn Ruth dive head-first into comedy at age 70, she took an opportunity to perform in England and ended up relocating there, earning accolades and new fans in the process.  More importantly she has embraced and her age with joy and acceptance.    I’ve interviewed a number of record holders for my podcast but if few if any have Lynn Ruth‘s fearless attitude, indomitable spirit and zest for life. Even if her comedy was not your cup of English tea, her interview alone is worth her  insights  on the importance of attitude and mindset.   Enjoy Episode 17 and Lynn Ruth.    Lynn Ruth Also Discusses:   What it feels like to be 87 Her creative interests outside of comedy Different audience perspectives around the world  Her talk about optimistic aging Having a show already scheduled for her 100th birthday      Links from this episode:   Lynn Ruth Miller Website:  http://www.lynnruthmiller.net Lynn Ruth Miller Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/1325208014354325 Lynn Ruth Miller Book Link: http://mybook.to/lynnruthmiller    Alicyn Yaffee (Theme Music): https://www.sonicbids.com/band/alicynyaffee Marc Yaffee Comedy: www.laughwithmarc.com  Marc Yaffee Corporate website: bookmarcnow.com  How Does That Happen on iTunes:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-does-that-happen-podcast/id1451558924 Alicyn Yaffee (Theme Music): https://www.sonicbids.com/band/alicynyaffee Marc Yaffee Comedy: www.laughwithmarc.com  Marc Yaffee Corporate website: bookmarcnow.com  How Does That Happen on iTunes:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-does-that-happen-podcast/id1451558924

Back at the beginning of March 2020, just before the world ended, Louise caught up with the legendary Lynn Ruth Miller, while she was in Glasgow to perform at The Stand Comedy Club. Louise and Lynn chatted for nearly three hours, but we've managed to get the episode down to a manageable 45 minutes, with the promise to meet again for Part 2. Lynn has achieved more in her fascinating life than most people do in three or four lifetimes, so we could probably do a whole series of podcasts with this iconic lady. So buckle up comrades, because this one is really special. ABOUT LYNN RUTH MILLER Lynn Ruth is the oldest currently performing stand-up female comedian on both sides of the Atlantic.

Lynn Ruth Miller is a standup comedian who is happily single, funny as hell, and 86 years old. This is an hour of conversation to listen to if you've ever felt uncertain or fearful about the future. Lynn Ruth shows us, as single women and as human beings, that the future never stops being bright. It is also incredibly powerful to hear from her about so many dating themes she encountered that are, perhaps unfortunately, still true today. We are not alone, we never are and we never were, and Lynn Ruth Miller is a beautiful example of how we can do whatever we want, whenever we want, for as long as we want, and that's f*cking fabulous. Two trigger warnings for listeners: Lynn Ruth discusses both domestic violence and eating disorders in this episode.

The BEST and most fantastic Lynn-Ruth Miller kindly joins me for existential podcast chats in the corridor of a comedy club after she rocked a set there. The audio quality is terrible (my bad), but what Lynn-Ruth has to say is unmissable. Lynn-Ruth Miller is a Comedian, Writer, Artist and has been many other things including teaching, freelancing, studying a Masters in Communication, among other things! Lynn-Ruth tells us about her journey into stand-up comedy at 70 years of age and how that has transformed her, her mentality and her life. Lynn-Ruth also tells us about being 30 years of age, divorced twice, having to do freelance work because, at that time, 30 was "too old to hire a woman". In addition, Lynn-Ruth tells us of her experiences with eating disorders, being on Disability, having to heal herself, self-care regime, having a pet, doing Burlesque to songs she has created, her experience of depression, changing countries, leaving her roots behind, having a good time with life, losing her home, having Bladder Cancer, control issues & anxiety. This really was such a wonderful and very special encounter.

Lynn Ruth Miller, 82-year-old US comedian, talks to John Fleming at her home in Brighton, England, about sex, sado-masochism, her show “Get a Grip”, starting a hamster support group, the UK comedy business, World War II, US TV sets, nostalgia, Italians, the Irish, marriage, the British Royal Family and starting her own blog. Originally, this was supposed to be a Grouchy Club Podcast featuring Lynn Ruth with comedy critics Kate Copstick and Claire Smith, but Claire was tied-up elsewhere and Copstick slept through the whole thing in London. So a chat became the Grouchy Club podcast and, unusually, there are some edits in it. www.grouchyclub.co.uk You can also download this audio podcast from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/grouchy-clubs-mostly-about/id977279883 John Fleming’s daily blog is at: http://blog.thejohnfleming.com

This episode was recorded in Edinburgh. Lynn Ruth Miller is an inspiring risk taker who is attacking life as if she were someone 20 years old. Humbling to learn that she is 80 years old and just moved to Brighton, England last year to pursue her career as a stand up comedian. Born in 1933 she remembers the war years in a way that will surprise you and her opinion of America is ice cold honest from someone who survived much person disaster and incredible odds to be where she is today. Her charm and joy for life is infectious as it is captivating. She has many strong opinions former from a life fully lived. She doesn't believe in fear or evil and she believes that every dream is worth pursuing. I met Lynn Ruth 10 years ago when she started out as a comedian in San Francisco. She had come to see me headline at the Purple Onion then shortly after this she booked me to do a show with her at Stanford University which turned out to be a very special experience for all involved. Through the years I have seen her in San Francisco and other world wide spots where she pops up doing comedy in foreign countries like me.  "The woods would be very silent if the only birds who sang were the ones who sang best." Lynn Ruth is a veteran of nine Edinburgh Fringe Festivals and I was happy to see her and her show in Edinburgh this year while I was there. She is like a relative to me, or rather someone I wish was related to me. She stays in touch with me regularly and she is always popping up around the world cheering me on as I am with her. She is someone I always love talking to because she is filled with wisdom and insight aging from life lessons learned. She is not afraid to chase her dream of being a comedian and I am inspired by her ruthless determination and the original energy of joy that goes into each performance. She is quit simply a gem of a human being and it is my pleasure to present to you now, the one and only Lynn Ruth Miller!
