Karen Mills may be small but she packs a punch—on stage and off. This Tennessee girl
has been bringing the laughs for 30 years, performing at the Grand Ole Opry, touring
nationwide with Leanne Morgan, and racking up over 35 million views with her Dry Bar
Comedy special, Baby Got Bad Back. She was also featured in The Showcase, produced by Nate
Bargatze, and recently appeared on the daytime TV show The Talk. You can here her
regularly on SiriusXM’s comedy channels.
Before comedy, Karen made headlines on the hardwood. At 5’2”, she was told she was too short
to play college basketball. Her response? “Hold my Gatorade.” In 1981, she led the nation in
assists and became the first Division I First Team All-American in UT Chattanooga history—
male or female. Her #12 jersey was retired, and she was inducted into the Chattanooga
Basketball Hall of Fame.
A self-proclaimed crazy dog lady with a laser-sharp eye for life’s absurdities, Karen delivers
comedy that’s smart, sassy, and refreshingly real. Whether she’s talking about aging, cleaning the
house for the housekeeper, or trying to explain TikTok to her mama, you’ll laugh—because
you’ve lived it too
