“I don’t know what Santa brought me, but I know what he took away.”  Not exactly an auspicious opening to a story, but it is particularly descriptive of the season of ups and downs that started with an insurance adjuster and ended with a Christmas in July. This story of the consequences of living in the Midwest comes from our December 2012 show, When It Rains, It Pours.

About the storyteller
Lynn Ruth Miller was dubbed the new Joan Rivers of Fringe Comedy. Now 79, she made it to Las Vegas in America’s Got Talent in 2008, won People’s Choice at the 2009 Branson Comedy Festival, made the finals in Bill Word’s Funniest Female Contest in 2009, competed in the semi-finals in the SF International Comedy Competition, and was in the top 100 in Britain’s Got Talent not to mention winning both nights at the Texas Burlesque Festival without taking off anything that matters.
