Lynn Ruth Miller

Lynn Ruth Miller. (Born in Toledo, Ohio) is one of the oldest performing stand-up comedians on both sides of the Atlantic. She only started in at 71, after a career as a writer, tutor and newspaper columnist. Lynn Ruth Miller is best known for playing the Fairy Godmother in Salem Kapsaski's Horror Musical Spidarlings (2016). At age 83, Lynn Ruth Miller is a renaissance woman who wears many hats. She entertains audiences of all ages with comedy and song. She is living proof that the older you are, the more fun you have. At age 67, Lynn Ruth re-invented herself when she published her first book, Starving hearts, an autobiographical novel about her struggle with bulimia and an overwhelming mother. She became a speaker who inspired others with eating disorders to believe that they can help themselves just as she did. The book has now sold 6,200 copies. She followed it with a series of Thoughts books, compilations of essays written as columns for her local newspaper, The Pacifica Tribune. Her writing has been published in more than 100 outlets nationwide and she has read passages from her books all over the US and abroad. Sprinkling humor with a touch of nostalgia, her works focus on topics that touch us all: the changing role of women, all-too-common eating disorders, growing old and the general idiosyncrasies of today's society. Lynn Ruth is the host on two television programs on public access television, Channel 26 in Pacifica: "What's Hot Between The Covers" (book reviews and interviews in the arts) and "Paint With Lynn".
