Celebrating John Clarke

Celebrating John Clarke

CELEBRATING JOHN CLARKE

John Clarke was a pioneering comedian, actor and writer, whose television appearances as farmer Fred Dagg in the 1970s marked the emergence of a distinctive home-grown style of New Zealand comedy. In 1977 Clarke moved permanently to Australia, where he was best known for the popular television series The Games and a series of satirical mock interviews with Australian Bryan Dawe. His wide-ranging talents included scriptwriting, music, documentary presenting, and literary pastiche, and his comic performances encompassed pratfalls, parody and political satire.

John died of a heart attack in 2017 aged 68 whilst hiking in the Grampians with his wife and friends.

Celebrating John is his daughter Lorin Clarke - herself no stranger to life in the creative arts. Lorin wrote, directed and narrated the award-winning ABC RN audio fiction serial, The Fitzroy Diaries (originally aired on ABC RN's Life Matters), which you can find here. It won the Best Fiction award at the Australian Podcast Awards in May 2019.

Lorin also writes for television and is a regular columnist for The Big Issue.

Her recent memoir, Would That Be Funny? Growing Up With John Clarke is out now.

Lorin is currently directing a documentary film about her Dad.
