I met @MillsDaComedian a whiiiillleeee ago. Ok, maybe not that long, but when I met him, I enjoyed him. He'd hosted Open Mic Thursdays at One & One Bar/Lounge & had said a few things to make me chuckle. As we sat for almost two hours, Mills knows the breed I'm from: You better make me laugh, n*gga. Luckily, though, Mills is of the breed that enjoys the pressure. People think he can't be serious. Still, all Mills wanted to do was ditch the crown and get his interview on. he thinks I was there for the cash (and a little bit, I was) but really, i was there because he wanted me to be. Determined to take advantage of his natural talent to put smiles on faces, Mills wastes no time in pursuit of his goals.
Hate him or love him is the deal. Mills is expected to be a fantastic comedian or a terrible one. Towering at 6'6, the former ball-player pokes fun at being confused as security. "If you're not funny, you better work the door," he explains. I sat with him for about an hour and a half and we spoke of everything from success to failure. In this first part of the interview, you'll hear Mills' true passion and how he feels about taking on this new career --as well as the mission behind it all. It was a blessing to be able to sit with him and explore the truth about going after a dream: the joys, motives and struggles.
