The Australian entertainment world is shaken as one of the most beloved satirists John Clarke has passed away.

The ABC have confirmed that he died of natural causes while hiking in the Grampians National Park in Victoria.

Clarke will be best remembered for the hugely popular Clarke and Dawe segments that appeared on ABC TV and the pair have been making for 27 years.
