Chris Didrik Nørgaard founded Respirator in 2007 with comedian Omar Marzouk. Starting his career in the music industry, he worked with the top names in the Danish charts, before composing scores for TV. Quickly, his talent for making and analysing TV cemented him as the Danish CCO of Mastiff, but as his interest was always in comedy, he decided to launch the oldest existing TV comedy production company in Denmark. Working as a producer on most of its shows, he has with Respirator made a significant impact on Danish TV comedy, producing a string of very successful TV comedy shows for multiple channels.
