Comedian and satirist John Clarke made audiences laugh over 40 years. From beloved characters like Fred Dagg, a parody of a New Zealand sheep farmer, to his brilliant political satire with long time writing partner Bryan Dawe. Born in New Zealand, he quickly made a name for himself after a move across the Tasman in the 70s. John Clarke died in 2017 while hiking in Grampians National Park in Victoria. Now an intimately produced doco tells his story in his words. Not Only Fred Dagg But Also John Clarke has been produced by Clarke's daughter Lorin, and features in this year's New Zealand International Film Festival.
