Coluche

Michel Colucci (October 28, 1944 - June 19, 1986), better known as Coluche, was a famous French comedian who "went the extra mile" to rock the establishment.

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.
