Although I have used a DAW compressor, I have not used one in a live sound

few people with tremendous dynamic range where they go from almost a whisper
to screaming vocals.
Any one use one for that type of environment?

Leave those people to their foolishness. Turn it down to the point that
their lower passages might get lost, just to avoid clipping the system
when they go berserk.
You can't use a compressor to make an expert out of a beginner or an
ignorantus. At some point people who are serious about singing into a PA
will dig in and learn something about mic technique. In the past few
years I have been astonished how many experienced, successful, touring
folkies have no clue about it.
