Early life and education
Yves Lecoq was born Yves Louis Georges Lecoquierre in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. His family is issued of the Bourgeoisie from the county of Île-de-France. He became interested at an early age in the comic field, and rather than a career as a lawyer or a journalist, he did not follow his parents and began a career in theater at the age of 16. During his studies at the Lycée Georges Clémenceau in Nantes, he played his first theater role in 1965.

Since September 1988, he is one of the main impersonator in the show Les Guignols de l'info broadcast on Canal+, where he voices the puppet of Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, which made him famous from the audience. However, he does not write the texts. His voice for the puppet of Jacques Chirac has also made him famous.
He participated from 1994 to 2000 and in 2005 at the concerts of Les Enfoirés. He also presented various programs such as Graines de star in 1996 and 1997 on M6 and Les Grands du Rire on France 3 since 2005.
