QUOTES AND KIND WORDS:
"No one makes me laugh harder by doing so little than honorary 6th Kid in the Hall, Tim Girrbach."
-Michael Hartney, Upright Citizens Brigade NY Artistic Director
"Enjoying Squirm (sic: Tim Girrbach) in particular was wildly amusing. The beanpole gold-rimmed glasses wearing white boy, like a dorkier version of 16 Candles era Anthony Michael Hall, is so absurd thrusting and twerking one can’t help but laugh. Add to that the deep baritone that emerges from a body that is shy of 100 pounds, and the image is all the more surreal. Squirm closes (a song) on his knees screaming in a falsetto until he collapses to the roar of the crowd."
-Charleston City Paper
"The delicate balancing act Maul and her multiply-cast actors (particularly the standout Tim Girrbach as a ghoulishly wholesome dad describing a liquefying cadaver before asking to be passed the spaghetti) pull of between delightful and dreadful should be commended."
-Reviews Hub
"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."

"Girrbach's geek kept the audience laughing for a good five minutes."
