UPDATE Lynn Ruth is doing her new show ’80’  at The Marlborough Theatre May 8,9,10 and 11 @ 6 p.m for the Brighton Fringe Festival 2014 details here Here are some of the highlights (this is not a full transcript) ‘My mantra is that I am no  different than anyone else, I just don’t say no to life. I don’t have a special talent, Any talent that I have developed. it didn’t start off as a talent, it  started out as an interest, and I just kept doing it until it became an ability’ The reason she pursued this career in cabaret and stand up comedy at 71 is because she took a class in stand up and she was cheered by the audience, she had never seen love like that in her entire life, she thought that this is the most beautiful kind of love there is, (She was 71) You don’t have to cook them dinner, you don’t have to change the sheets Lynn Ruth started doing stand up at 71 and cabaret at 73. She is now 80 years of age and last year won the TOAST (Time Out And Soho Theatre) award at Edinburgh, the prize being that a two week stint at the gorgeous cabaret lounge downstairs at the Soho Theatre, March 11th to March 22nd 2014. Details here I first met Lynn Ruth in 2007 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where I was doing my own cabaret/comedy show as well as hosting and producing the Midnight Carousel cabaret each night for C Venues. I would sing cabaret, chat and have six guests on a night and Lynn Ruth was my very favorite guest, she called her show then granny cabaret. I also saw her in Brighton Festival 2010 where Lynn Ruth was doing her show ‘Alzheimers, Alzheimers’ and I was with my great friend and colleague Elizabeth Mee as we were doing our show ‘Cooking And Cabaret’. She is based in San Francisco and comes every summer for the last 7 years. She also did Britain’s Got Talent, an agent found her that way. Simon Cowell’s criticism was absolutely spot on as her humour is about being old and you can predict where it is going. She picked the most predictable stuff and it is a big audience so she chose material that didnt make the audience think too much. ‘I am 80 and I am on my third car because I can’t remember where I parked the other two” Lynn Ruth was a teacher and has several degrees in teaching, she believes you can spot very creative children as they don’t really get the rules, they are not so much naughty as they don’t understand the rules. Lynn  Ruth has always seen a different answer, creative people seem to have a different version of reality. Her parents were Jewish and their goal in life was to blend in to society when they came to America. She never blended very well. Her heritage has no interest for her, she is always interested where life can take her. She has always written and when you write you redefine the world in your own terms. She started writing at six and had a poem published at nine years of age. She was always surprised when people thought her writing was special. Her creativity was always words, not science. Always through school she came up with a different conclusion, not the accepted one which was viewed as a bad thing for her family and her society. She never had a conformist mind and yet thought she was normal but then years later her sister, who was very good at confirming, called and asked her to come to a party if ‘you don’t do what you do’ Lynn Ruth didn’t know what that was. (I can relate to this!) Lynn Ruth has such freedom in her, and I love seeing that as a creative. Lynn Ruth always questions the right or wrong of art for example the role of directing. She is terrible at collaborative work but her current show is written with her pianist Robert Pettigrew as they have the same goal. She is loving having a real live pianist who follows her and makes her a better performer. Lynn Ruth believes in the importance of the arts, that that is where the t[...] Auditions, Directors, Fun, Gratitude, Inspiration, Motivation, Podcast, Writers Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/09/podcast-pt-1-earl-okin-legendary-entertainer-on-audience-charm-18-edinburghs/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/09/podcast-pt-1-earl-okin-legendary-entertainer-on-audience-charm-18-edinburghs/#comments Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:31:47 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1251 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/09/podcast-pt-1-earl-okin-legendary-entertainer-on-audience-charm-18-edinburghs/feed/ 1 0:31:54 Love Your Creativity is all about keeping myself and you focused on creativity whether you are an artist, actor, musician, playwright or film director This is Part One of a Two Part interview with Earl Okin, and some brief highlights of the podcast [...] Love Your Creativity is all about keeping myself and you focused on creativity whether you are an artist, actor, musician, playwright or film director This is Part One of a Two Part interview with Earl Okin, and some brief highlights of the podcast are noted below. To listen to the podcast just press the arrow above. I have posted this in two parts: he has so much great advice that I couldn’t bear to cut any, the first part largely covers his comedy, knowing who he is as an artist and the second his music making and touring. Earl Okin, singer, songwriter, pianist, comedian He was on stage at three years of age, has opened for Paul McCartney and Wings on their 1980s world tour, he is an incredibly funny and talented performer who has spent his last 60 years entertaining. Due to his family’s history he has echoes of the music hall but has “Entertainer” on his passport, a one man variety show. He stopped in 2000 at Edinburgh having done 18 years straight, a record at the time of being most performed there. His advice on doing Edinburgh – don’t spend any money you don’t have to, don’t take ads especially now the Edinburgh brochure has split up’, have the minimal number of posters down and not in technicolour as they cost more. Info on your posters on big black letters, have a silly title ‘Whoops Vicky you’ve split the packet’, the fewer words the better as then you can print them in bigger font. Stay somewhere very cheap, he was at the same place for 15 years. Always drive, a car is invaluable in Edinburgh.   He has a wealth of knowledge on performing and music, he has a huge range of musical interests. He has an incredible connection with an audience, you need to build up enough confidence to not give a damn. Be relaxed with audiences, he has died on stage but it is rare, he expects the audience to like him and that gives him an air of confidence as he walks on stage that makes the audience relax. He always wanted to be the first Earl Okin, he is not an impressionist and does not want to be compared to anyone else. He does not think of himself as a musical comedian as they few and far between Dick James signed him in the 60s with the Beatles but his heroes were Puccini and Caruso and dresses like them. One of his last Edinburgh shows ‘Musical genius and sex symbol’ Audience charm, you have to develop your own audience charm – that can have aggression in but there needs to be that connection, that twinkle. They have to like you and then they will forgive you your bad jokes. He developed in folk clubs first, comedy clubs then having to make the jokes as lean as possible and then deliver it as if you had just thought of it. He tries the jokes different ways round, as do many comics. He sometimes stumbles over the words on purpose. The comedy is about him rather than his material. Writing comedy song is only judged about the words, the music does not matter. When writing a comedy song think one idea or taking off point. He gives a great example of this. With a melody for a straight piece the music is the main thing, the words are largely irrelevant, you can hear the harmony under the melody and that carries the tune. We finished with a jam, Earl on piano, singing and doing a ‘faux’ trumpet and me singing His Podcast His Website Love Your Creativity.com is dedicated to all creatives trying to make great work and make a living from it.
