I just heard and I'm feeling a little gutted. The man was a comic genius. Fred Dagg used to be on 2JJ in the mornings and I regularly laughed while trying to eat my cereal - very messy. Then his show 'The Games' managed to predict every debacle of the 2000 Olympics just before it really happened. And of course Clarke and Dawe has been a Thursday night staple for years and years. Tony Burke (of all people) put it well .... "John Clark didn't need voices or mannerisms. He worked out the weaknesses in our arguments,gaps in our reasoning, and used satire perfectly."
At least he died doing what he loved and didn't linger in pain.
