Ever seen one of those fake Wikipedia pages that walks the line between totally absurd and believable enough that you keep reading beyond the first few lines? Arden Myrin’s is not that kind of page.

The comedian known for appearing on MadTV and Chelsea Lately really did grow up in Little Compton, Rhode Island (named for somewhere in England, not California) before heading to Chicago to join Improv Olympic and hone her onstage skills.
