Jack Karlson became popular in 2009 when a 1991 news tape of his arrest at a Chinese restaurant in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley was posted online.
Jack Karlson, famed for the classic “democracy manifest” and “succulent Chinese meal” clip, died on August 7, aged 82. In a statement, Karlson’s family confirmed his death, saying he had prostate cancer.
“He walked a full and colourful path and despite the troubles thrown at him, he lived by his motto – to keep on laughing,” they said in a statement.
