Early life and education

Myrin was born in Little Compton, Rhode Island, a quiet seaside village. Her father was an accountant, and her mother was a real estate agent. She has an older brother, Alarik. As a child, she staged her neighborhood plays, and enjoyed seeing Annie on Broadway. Myrin attended Friends Academy in Dartmouth, Massachusetts for her middle school years. She graduated from Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts, for high school. She is of Swedish and Norwegian heritage.[1]

Afterwards, Myrin attended Colorado College, a small liberal arts school, where she received a degree in theater and studio arts. She was elected commencement speaker at her graduation. During one college break, Myrin began to study improvisational comedy and worked as an intern on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien, where she admits she "mostly ran the Xerox machine."

Career

Shortly after graduation, Myrin briefly moved to Chicago, where she became a member of the Improv Olympic and later re-located to New York City and Los Angeles, where she was part of the same group. One of her memorable standup comedian acts included a section of her own life experiences called Straight Outta Lil' Compton. She later wrote a book of such life experiences, called Little Miss Little Compton: A Memoir.[2] Myrin also trained with the Los Angeles comedy troupes The Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade.

Mad TV

Myrin officially joined the cast of Mad TV in 2005 as a repertory performer from season 11 to its last episode on FOX in 2009 (Myrin didn't come back to the show for its revival in 2016). Notable celebrity impressions she has done include Avril Lavigne, Cindy McCain, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Farrah Fawcett, Goldie Hawn, Heidi Montag, Helen Mirren, Hilary Duff, Jamie Lynn Spears, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jillian Barberie, Kourtney Kardashian, Lily Allen, Lo Bosworth, Martie Maguire (of the Dixie Chicks), Nicole Kidman, Nina Garcia, Pamela Anderson, Portia de Rossi, Reese Witherspoon, and Tara Reid.
