Tim attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ and majored in Theater Arts and English. He trained at The Freeman Studio and continues to study with instructor, Alexandra Neil.
Tim has trained extensively in improvisation at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre NY (Chris Gethard, Doug Moe, Michael Delaney, Will Hines, Ari Voukydis) and Second City (NYC Training Center). He was a writer/performer with the sketch comedy troupe, Drop Six, which won Best of the Fest at The Toronto Sketch Festival, and were Official Selections at the NY Fringe, Seattle, NYC, and D.C. Sketch Comedy Festivals, plus ECNY and INNY Comedy Award nominees.
Tim made his television debut as D-Ron/Ronald in the A&E show "Black&White" (created by Sherrod Small and Christian Finnegan) playing a white rapper recovering from appropriating Black Culture. He's been featured in a number of commercial projects for Wendy's, UPS, Time Warner, Guinness, Tide, Lemonheads Candy, Sony, and The National Drug Council. Most notably, he worked on a series of adverts for the UK company Coral as Danny McBride's cockney sidekick with Director, David Gordon Green.

He was also a part of the UCBT NY running shows The Bonus Features directed by Eric Feurer and Hindsight 20/20 with David Carl. He currently performs monthly at Caveat with The Super Crazy Funtime Show.
"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
"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." - jesterjournal
"Girrbach's geek kept the audience laughing for a good five minutes." -nytheatre
