After the last few years, it’s a breath of fresh air to spend the evening laughing. To do just that, Friends of the Ritz, Inc is bringing comedian Karen Mills to the Historic Ritz Theatre on Saturday, February 18 th , at 7:00 pm
Mills has been a nationally touring comedian for over twenty-five years. She can be heard daily on SiriusXM comedy channels and clips from her comedy special “Pink Pants” have gotten over 21 million views. Karen appeared on Season 12 of America’s Got Talent and has had numerous appearances onThe Grand Ole Opry. She is currently touring theaters across the country with Leanne Morgan. Karen and Leanne have worked together since 2004 when they first met doing the Southern Fried Chicks comedy tour.
Karen has a straight-forward approach to the realities of life. Her smart, funny, keen observations will keep you laughing at yourself as you relate to her experiences. Even Ovarian cancer couldn’t stop her from turning her pain into punchlines. Diagnosed in 2013 after a routine checkup, Karen was determined to take on the disease with hope and humor and in 2016 she was chosen to present her talk, “Cancer is a Laughing Matter” at TEDxChattanooga.
This show is sponsored in part by a Block Booking Grant with the Fox Theatre Institute. Tickets can be purchased online at www.ritztheatretoccoa.com, on the third floor of City Hall, or at the box office night of show.
