Coluche

Michel Gérard Joseph Colucci (French: [miʃɛl ʒeʁaʁ ʒozɛf kɔlytʃi], Italian: [kolutʧi]; born 28 October 1944 in Paris – died 19 June 1986 in Opio), better known under his stage name Coluche ([kɔlyʃ]), was a French comedian and actor famous for his irreverent sense of humor. Colucci adopted "Coluche" as a stage name at age 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 was one of the first major comedians to regularly use profanities as a source of humor on French television.
