John Clarke
John Clarke’s brand of droll defined the high water mark of Kiwi and Australian comedy for more than 30 years. Spawned in the early 1970s, his gumboot-clad philosopher Fred Dagg marked a key moment in the development of a distinctly New Zealand style of humour. Dagg's reign as a Kiwi comedy star spanned just four years, before Clarke began anew in Australia. He passed away on 9 April 2017, at age 68.
I like that show of yours. And I’ll tell you what it’s like: your show is a secret between the people who are making it and the people who are watching it. One of John Clarke's favourite quotes, as told to him by a fan of Clarke's TV series The Games, quoted in The Age, 19 June 2004
