Colucci adopted "Coluche" as a stage name at 26, when he began his artistic career.
He created the "Restos du coeur[?]" in 1985. They collect food, money and clothes for the needy and the homeless.
His passing away in 1986 in a motorcycle accident (he was a professional speed racer) provoked national grief.
Since his comedy is very French and quite untranslatable, he is not well known outside France.
