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 Fred Dagg, beloved New Zealand comedian John Clarke's most well known character.[2] Clarke as Dagg was one of New Zealand's most recognisable comedic characters from the 1970s and is considered to be an icon of New Zealand pop culture.[3]
"The Fred" award winner receives Dagg's Gumboot as a trophy.[4]
History
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.[7]
