The Slightly Longer Bio

Carrie Gravenson was born on a small island on the east coast of The United States of America. Maybe you've heard of this small island for it is called... "Manhattan." Ha! We never think of Manhattan as an island but it so totally is. And I was born on it. And I'm all touchy about Queens and Brooklyn technically sharing an island landmass with Long Island. Now I'm all upset thinking about it and I need a break to take stock of my life. 

Okay, I'm back. Anyway, I grew up and started doing comedy.
