Yves Lecoq is celebrating his 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed comedians of his generation.
Popular comedian Yves Lecoq (Les Guignols de l'info, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Lecoq, a cultural icon
Born in Paris on May 4, 1946, Yves Lecoq's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Lecoq's not just a great comedian, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Yves hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Yves Lecoq as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 79.
Happy Birthday, Yves, you're the best!
