Comedian Lynn Ruth Miller has died.

Miller, one of the oldest stand ups on the circuit if not the oldest, was in her late eighties and there had recently been a gofundme campaign to raise money for her medical treatment.

Miller only started to do stand up in her seventies but quickly made an impression as an honest, candid storyteller. 

She won The Time Out and Soho Theatre (TO&ST) Award in 2014; 2015 Old Comedian finalist; made the top 100 in the UK in Britain’s Got Talent, won People’s Choice in 2009; 2015 Liberty Award Leicester Comedy Festival; semi-finals in the SF International Comedy Competition and Star of the Brighton Fringe Festival in 2009 and the finals in Bill Word’s Funniest Female Contest 2009. She was considered the oldest performing stand up female comedian on both sides of the Atlantic.
