LYNN RUTH MILLER started doing comedy on stage when she was 71 years old and hit the headlines in Edinburgh at the 2005 International Fringe Festival for jumping out of a cake (almost) and removing her clothes (not quite.) She left them laughing when she sat on their laps in 2006 and in 2007, she was dubbed the new Joan Rivers of Fringe Comedy. Now she is 78 and she swears she hasn’t gotten the last laugh yet. She made it to Las Vegas in America’s Got Talent, 2008 and won the People’s Choice Award at the 2009 Branson Comedy Festival. She got to the finals in Bill Word’s Funniest Female Contest 2009 and the semi-finals in San Francisco’s International Comedy Competition She did her cabaret at the Glasgow Cabaret Festival in October.
