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. Dubbed the new Joan Rivers of Fringe Comedy at The Edinburgh International Fringe, Lynn Ruth started comedy & cabaret at 70. She made it to Las Vegas in America’s Got Talent, 2008, won People’s Choice in 2009 Branson Comedy Festival, the finals in Bill Word’s Funniest Female Contest 2009 and semi-finals in the SF International Comedy Competition. She also made it to the top 100 in Britain’s Got Talent, not to mention winning two competitions at the Texas Burlesque Festival (and that's without taking off anything that matters!) At 86, she is still going strong!
