She’s been compared to such greats as Bill Cosby, Ellen Degeneres, and Jerry Seinfeld. Her comedy is clean, clever and relatable – she finds the funny in everyday life. A native of Tennessee, this southern girl makes one thing clear, “I am NOT a southern belle…unless I need to be.” Karen has spent 17 years on the comedy circuit honing her skills. She’s worked with Jon Stewart, written for The Rosie O’ Donnell Show and currently tours with the Southern Fried Chicks. She’s quickly become a favorite in the corporate world. Her client list includes American Express, AFLAC, Coca Cola, Toyota, Ford and many more. She has also performed at numerous women’s conventions where she’s always a huge hit! But don’t think that’s all she can do, her comedy is friendly and relatable to both genders – in other words, the men love her too. This natural performer has a keen sense of timing and wide range of topics giving her a broad audience appeal. Karen understands what it takes to excel. She stands at 5’2” and was an All-American basketball player for UT-Chattanooga. In 1981, she led the nation in assists and was the first female inducted into UTC’s basketball hall of fame. She’s got game! Karen brings that same dynamic energy to her comedy.

Most Popular Topics Turn the radio down so I can see…and other mid-life observations (Stand-up comedy) Karen Mills has spent 18 years as a professional comedian. She has performed at theaters, conventions, women’s expos and countless corporate events. “People are always coming up to me after my show and saying, 'Thank you so much, you don’t know how much I needed to laugh,' or telling me how long it’s been since they laughed.” This is a health crisis! Laughter reduces stress, diminishes pain, lowers blood pressure, fights depression…who doesn’t need that, especially as we get older! Last time I went to the doctor, I had gained 10 lbs. and shrunk an inch…that’s right, I’m bringing sexy back! Preparation Meets Opportunity…the shot that knocked my mama’s wig off (Comedy and Motivation) In 1976 during the Tennessee girls’ high school state basketball championship, Karen hit a shot with 3 seconds left on the clock to win the game. She had prepared her entire life for that moment. What she hadn’t prepared for was the eruption of the fans when the ball went through the basket -- “Everyone was jumping and hugging and shaking my mother and they knocked her wig right off her head.” Karen received a full basketball scholarship to UT-Chattanooga where she earned All-American honors and was the first female inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame.
