On my recent trip to Florida to visit my sister and brother-in-law, we went to Off the Hook Comedy Club in nearby Naples. The headliner was comedian Karen Mills.
Before we went, we did a bit of research on Mills. A veteran of 30+ years of entertaining audiences, Mills had an interesting story even before she stepped on stage. At 5'2", she was a long shot to make the basketball team at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. She not only made the team, but became the first, Division 1 first team All-American in UT Chattanooga’s history.
On another note, Prior to the show, I emailed Mills asking for a post-show picture. She responded positively. After the show, Mills took the pic with me, but explained she was under the weather. I thanked her for going above and beyond. A couple days later, she posted she canceled a show due to her illness. I hope she is better by now, but I really appreciate her effort in light of feeling lousy.
Find more about her at karenmills.com. My whole Florida recap will soon be on globaltravelerusa.com/blog/.
