Biography

Myrin was born on December 10, 1973 in Little Compton, Rhode Island a seaside fishing village. She was the youngest of two children whose father was an accountant and mother was a real estate agent. As a child, she enjoyed making people laugh when she staged her neighborhood plays, and she remembers the sheer joy of seeing Annie
on Broadway. She attended the Friends Academy in Dartmouth, Massachusetts where she graduated in 1988. She then attended Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts for high school.

Afterwards, she attended Colorado College, a small liberal arts school, where she received a degree in theater and studio arts and she graduated as valedictorian. During one college break, Myrin began to study improvisational humor and worked as an intern on NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien in 1993-94, where she admits she "mostly ran the Xerox machine." Nevertheless, the experience galvanized her greater desire to work in front of the camera.

Soon after graduation, Myrin briefly moved to Chicago when she became a member of the Improv Olympic and later re-located to 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”. Myrin also trained with the L.A. Comedy troupe The Groundlings.

Myrin returned to New York and appeared in commercials while laboring as a waitress and taking acting classes. She caught a break when two helpful casting directors sent an agent to see her newly minted stand-up comedy act, which netted her an agency contract. Since then, she has shelved her joke-telling career. She has appeared in many films including Kinsey and What Women Want
. Notable television credits include guest roles on Friends and Reno 911!.
