Queenie the 77 year old stripper is back with a her outrageous parodies guaranteed to put your underwear at risk. Enjoy comedy with bells and tassels in this nightly 50 minute travesty of song and dance that won STAR OF BRIGHTON 2009 and features Lynn Ruth Miller the show stealer in the 2005 San Francisco Comedy show, WEAPONS OF LAUGH DESTRUCTION & BALOONEY TUNES in 2007. 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, 77 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, hit the headlines of the London times because she insisted that the older you are, the better you get.
In 2009, she proved that there IS life in a retirement home and sang about it for the BBC. Now she is back with her off-key cabaret, glorifying even older age and reveling in the disasters it brings to the human form and the feminine mystique.
Indulge your funny bone with songs to make you want to grow old with the bouncy, outrageous and delectable Queenie, in a rollicking hour in the Kasbah Room at Espionage every night until August 30.
“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
“Lynn Ruth Miller doesn't hold back. If you've ever looked ahead and wondered what's it going to be like, you're about to get all your questions answered. Lynn Ruth will have you bent in half with her brutally honest observations. Fresh, revealing, and with brilliant comedic timing, Lynn Ruth Miller will entertain you in a well rounded show.” Ty McKenzie, Producer of Chick Wit
