Multi-award-winning Lynn Ruth Miller - dubbed the new Joan Rivers - is the world's oldest performing standup comedienne. She now travels the world telling inappropriate jokes and shattering stereotypes. This extraordinary autobiography is the almost unbelievable, but totally true story, of one uniquely funny and talented woman's sheer determination to succeed. After spending her first seventy years finding success as an author, a newspaper columnist and a TV pundit, she stumbled into her new, life-changing career as a live comic by accident. As Lynn Ruth puts it herself: I always came up with smart remarks that got me into trouble. For over fifteen years, she has travelled from stage to stage, from one country to the next, in search of the next big laugh - winning acclaim from live audiences and becoming an internet sensation in the process. In her 80s, she discovered she had a talent as a burlesque dancer, winning Best Newcomer & Most Original Performance at the Texas Burlesque Festival. Since then, she won the hearts of millions on Britain's First Dates and America's Got Talent, became a viral sensation on Freeda, and like a fine wine, kept getting better, proving humor is universal and age is just a number. In Getting the Last Laugh, Lynn Ruth Miller tells you how a jaw-dropping revelation at the age of 70 led her to become the world's oldest performing comedienne, and live her life to the fullest. A breath of fresh air in an industry full of recycled voices. She gives me life! Tiff Stevenson Lynn has shaken up the status quo on the stand-up circuit. A pure joy!Aisling Bea
