Bryan John Dawe (born 21 March 1948) is an Australian writer, comedian, political satirist, songwriter, photographer and social activist. He is known predominantly for his long-running collaboration with fellow satirist, John Clarke, which lasted from 1989 until Clarke's death in 2017; Dawe has also achieved success as a painter and public speaker. Collaboration with John Clarke Dawe was a regular collaborator of fellow satirist the late John Clarke in the form of mock interviews, first for ''A Current Affair'' and then for '' The 7.30 Report''.

The format generally involved Dawe trying to press for an answer and Clarke tryi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
