Editing Coluche (section)

==Legacy==
Coming from a working-class family and a background of grinding poverty, Coluche fought for the equality of citizens. A law known as the ''Loi Coluche'' was passed in 1988, allowing large tax deductions (up to 75% in some cases) for individuals or businesses that donate to specified aid agencies.

The [[main-belt]] asteroid [[170906 Coluche]], discovered by Swiss astronomer [[Michel Ory]] in 2004, was named after Coluche.

There are statues of Coluche in his home quarter of [[Montrouge]] (suburb of Paris), unveiled in March 2011 (a bronze statue of Coluche, dressed with his trademark striped dungaree),<ref name=":0" /> and in [[Le Vigan, Gard]] in the south of France. Numerous theatres, schools and social spaces bear his name all over France.

In October 2016, the Hôtel de ville de Paris (5, rue de Lobau) opened an exhibition marking the 30th anniversary of his death. It focuses on his radio and movie career up to his announcement of his presidential candidacy. It ran through 7 January 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://rires.blog.lemonde.fr/2016/10/06/coluche-lhistoire-dun-mec-qui-vaut-bien-une-expo/ |title=''Coluche - l'Histoire d'un Mec qui Vaut Bien une Expo'', Le Monde, 6 October 2016 |access-date=9 October 2016 |archive-date=22 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222052821/http://rires.blog.lemonde.fr/2016/10/06/coluche-lhistoire-dun-mec-qui-vaut-bien-une-expo/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
