For every situation life throws at her, Karen Mills knows there’s a joke in there somewhere.
“I try to find humor in anything I’m dealing with — the good, the bad and the ugly. Everything comes right out of my life,” said the Cleveland, Tennessee, native, who got her professional start in comedy while living in Atlanta from 1984 to 2002.
Mills will open for headliner Leanne Morgan in three shows this week at Memorial Auditorium. The Friday show has sold out, and only single seats remain for the added performances on Thursday and Sunday.

“I do all that I can if I’m not already booked,” Mills said of her tour dates with Morgan, who became a close friend when they worked together on the Southern Fried Chicks Tour in 2004. Since then, they’ve done smaller tours together and traded off corporate gigs.
