Satirist John Clarke (Fred Dagg, Clarke and Dawe) has died suddenly aged 68.

A great loss to the political satire cohort and those of us who enjoy a laugh.

RIP John.

So sad to hear of John Clarkes death. The sharpest and brightest tool in the box of political satire. He will be so missed....

 

[ianna]

A great loss and too young.
Vale John.

In fact he died a couple of years ago but the article is worth the read.

Reads like those old Jewish directed and produced movies where they venerated the Jewish entertainers as heroes.
