Tim Girrbach (SAG-AFTRA) is an actor, writer, sketch comedian, improviser, musician, filmmaker, and M.C. based in NYC. He is a huge fan of character-driven comedy and loves to explore what motivates these characters in humorous, truthful, and original ways.
He has been performing since middle school when he appeared on Broadway in the children's choir of "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" as well as working in a handful of shows at The Papermill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ. Tim attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ and majored in Theater Arts and English.
He has trained extensively in improvisation with the Upright Citizens Brigade and Second City (NYC Training Center). He was a writer/performer with the sketch comedy troupe, Drop Six, which won the Best of the Fest Award at The Toronto Sketch Fest, and has been an official selection at the Fringe, Seattle, NYC, and D.C. Sketch Comedy Festivals. As a part of Drop Six, he has been nominated for ECNY and INNY Comedy Awards.
Tim has been featured in a number of commercial projects for Wendy's, UPS, Guinness, Tide, Lemonheads Candy, Sony, and The National Drug Council.
His comedic character concert "Birthday Sax/ I Wanna Sax You Up!" was an official selection in ANT Fest 2012 at Ars Nova. The show was directed/choreographed by Wendy Seyb (Pee Wee's Playhouse on Broadway, Yeast Nation) and featured the musical talents and arrangements of The Garden State Saxophone Quartet. Tim has also been featured in shows at Joe's Pub (Our Hit Parade) and Ars Nova (Showgasm, Bootlegger's Ball).
He is also currently performing and writing Hip-Hop Comedy as one half of Squirm and Germ. Official selections of ANT Fest 2011 at Ars Nova and INNY Nominees for Best Comedy Song and Video for "Maine, MoFo." With Squirm & Germ, Tim has rocked the mic at venues throughout NYC including The Apollo, Tammany Hall, UCBeast, Under St. Mark's, The Cove, The Tank, Fontana's and in a run of successful shows at The P.I.T.
Squirm and Germ independently released their debut LP "Late Bloomers" in 2011.
The album is streaming on Spotify and available on iTunes. Their YouTube Channel features official music videos for their songs "Pregnant in the Club" and "Maine, MoFo" as well as their series of "Sessions with Squirm and Germ." Their rhymes are also featured in the educational Drop Six music video "The Neti Pot (Have You Ever Rocked It)."
"Girrbach can do a lot with a little... commands attention with very little dialogue. He mesmerizes as a particularly dorky teen with twitching lips and closed eyes, who seems to be expecting a girl to kiss him any second.
He switches accents deftly."
