Michel Colucci, better known as Coluche, was a French comedian famous for his irreverent sense of humour .
Colucci adopted "Coluche" as a stage name at 26, when he began his entertainment career. He became known for his irreverent attitude towards politics and the "Establishment," and he incorporated this into much of his material.
He attempted to run in the French presidential elections in 1981, but ended up dropping out of the race because of political and media lobbying following polls that showed a significant part of the electorate might vote for him. Some threats to his life were also mentioned.
He created the "Restos du cœur" charity in 1985. They collect food, money and clothes for the needy and the homeless.
Coluche won the César Award for "Best Actor" for his role in Tchao pantin (So Long, Stooge, 1983). He also won the Prix National des Euphémismes des Charentes-Maritimes in 1978, at the third try.
Coluche died in 1986 at the age of 41, when his motorcycle crashed into a truck on a road in the commune of Opio in southeastern France. This accident provoked national grief and inspired the album Putain de camion ("fuckin' truck") by close friend Renaud Séchan.
