Coco Legrand

His repertoire consists mainly of monologues that show daily experiences that allow us to review the most typical psychological features of society, satirizing them and thus rediscovering the profile of the average Chilean citizen.

He returned with a degree and worked for a year in the press rooms of the workshops that the French brand Citroën owned in Arica, in the far north of Chile.

[4] The comedian began professionally in 1970 in Arica, where he showed his first works and immediately stood out for the quality and variety of his characters that he was introducing in routines that led him to be known, each one with a hint of current affairs in agreement at the time.

His monologues, short jokes, "stories" as he calls them, were liked by Moors and Christians; also his unique humorous interpretations of characters "type" or typical of any Chilean social stratum.

The definitive consecration of Coco Legrand came with his remembered presentation at the XIII Viña del Mar International Song Festival, in 1972, with characters such as Lolo Palanca and Cuesco Cabrera.

In 1977, according to a publication in the newspaper El Mercurio of that year, Legrand would have been part of the so-called "77 young people from Chacarillas", attending a ceremony held in that town.

While the public demanded the comedian's return to the stage, Coco Legrand was held back, amid the struggles, the producers of the station and the journalists who were trying to interview him.

In 2003 and 2004, he hosted the program Ciudad Gótica, on Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN), along with Felipe Camiroaga and Carla Ballero.

One of Coco Legrand's hobbies is Harley Davidson motorcycles, of which he has had several, baptizing them with the names of well-known national women due to some important characteristic.
