Mick Øgendahl

Mick Ogendahl (born 7 April 1973) is a Danish stand-up comedian, actor and scriptwriter. He began his career in 1993 and is known for his height of 166 cm, which he often expresses in his stand-up. His stage performance is energetic and very physical, while his material is mainly observational comedy, taking its starting point in considerations of people's ordinary behavior and everyday life. He was born in Silkeborg but grew up in Horreby on Ostfalster. After folkeskole, he began the vocational schools' basic education in iron and metal, and after a year moved to HTX in Naestved. He later moved to Copenhagen with plans to perform.

In 1993, he began his career at Restaurant DIN's in inner Copenhagen. On TV, he first came to the fore in Danmarks Radio's satire series Intermezzo in 1999 together with Anders Matthesen, and the same year had a guest role in DR2's sketch program Casper & Mandrilaftalen. The following year he had a bigger breakthrough with his own one-man show Micktrix. He has since followed with several one-man shows: Taafraeser (2004), UNDSKYLD! (2006), Propaganda (2010), SPAS (2012), FEST (2016) and Bad Boy (2024). In 2009, he created the comedy series Hvor fanden er Herning? together with Linda P.

In 2007, he wrote the feature film Bla maend together with Rasmus Heide, which hit cinemas the following year with Ogendahl in the role of the dim-witted landfill worker Dion; it sold 450,000 cinema tickets, making it the second most-watched Danish film in 2008. He has also written the scripts for Alle for en, Alle for to and Alle for tre. He won the prize for Arets Komiker at the Zulu Comedy Galla in 2012 for Spas. In May 2013, he had to be hospitalized for 14 days in a psychiatric department during the recordings of Tomgang due to stress.
