The Fred Award is the highest honour at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, awarded to the best show written and performed by a New Zealand comedian.[1]

The award is named in honour of New Zealand comedian John Clarke's most well-known character, Fred Dagg.[2] Dagg was one of New Zealand's most recognisable comedic characters during the 1970s and is considered to be an icon of New Zealand pop culture.[3] The winner receives a trophy of Dagg's gumboot.[4]

History

[edit]

The award was established in 2006 by the NZ Comedy Trust to recognise "The outstanding work of an established professional kiwi comedian."[5] In 2014 the criteria were simplified to become "best show" by a New Zealander.[6]

"The Fred" Gumboot is presented along with the Billy T Award at the end of festival prize-giving showcase "Last Laughs" where nominated finalists perform their final set of the festival. The winner is decided by a panel of judges and the prize is presented by the winner from the previous year.[4]
