Editing Coluche (section)

==Success==
In 1969, with Romain Bouteille he was present at the start of the [[Café de la Gare]], meeting place of a group of young comedic actors practically all of whom were to become famous: [[Patrick Dewaere]], [[Henri Guybet]], [[Miou-Miou]], [[Martin Lamotte]], etc. Among the patrons of the Café de la Gare were [[Georges Moustaki]], [[Raymond Devos]], [[Jean Ferrat]], [[Jacques Brel]], Leni Escudero, [[Pierre Perret]] and [[Jean Yanne]]. Later they were joined by [[Gérard Lanvin]], [[Renaud]], [[Rufus (actor)|Rufus]], [[Diane Kurys]], [[Coline Serreau]], [[Anémone]], [[Gérard Depardieu]], [[Thierry Lhermitte]], [[Josiane Balasko]] and [[Gérard Jugnot]].

Coluche's first sketch ''C'est l'histoire d'un mec'' (''It's the story of a guy'') was about the difficulties of telling a funny story. He quickly found success, but alcohol problems forced him to leave the group.

He went on to found another group, ''Le vrai chic parisien'' (The true Parisian chic) and it was then that he met his future wife, Véronique Kantor. They married in 1975 and had two sons, Marius and Romain Colucci. His behaviour and addictions forced him to leave the new group and launch his solo career.
