‘Ik kruip in de huid van een ander en kom daar glansrijk mee weg.’<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

26 februari 1986, de dag van de Tocht der Tochten. Ik heb alleen geen startbewijs. Toch sta ik in Leeuwarden, in de regenjas van mijn netste broer, met een sigaartje, en met de journalistenpas die ik gisteren zelf heb gemaakt, professioneel geplastificeerd bij de Multicopy. Voor deze ene dag is mijn naam M\u00fcller, Jens M\u00fcller. Het staat er in gotische letters, onder mijn paspoortfoto. De krant waar ik voor werk? Der Hamburger Tagesanzeiger. Ik hoop dat die bestaat.<\/p>\n

Een tijdje loop ik heen en weer voor het perscentrum. Dan herken ik de imponerende gestalte van journalist Joop Niezen. Ik loop op hem toe, duw hem de pas onder zijn neus en zeg: \u201cM\u00fcller, Hamburger Tagesanzeiger, ich m\u00f6chte mal eine Strecke mitfahren damit die deutsche Leser mal erfahren was das eigentlich ist, Elfsteden.\u201d Hij kijkt me aan, ik staar rustig terug. \u2018Okay,\u2019 zegt hij, \u2018dat gaan we regelen\u2019. Tien minuten later sta ik buiten met een startbewijs voor de Tocht. En als Pieter de Rijk rijd ik hem vervolgens uit.<\/p>\n

Het is de stunt die ik nog steeds vele malen per jaar uithaal wanneer ik op congressen, seminars, recepties en feestelijke bijeenkomsten word aangekondigd als Duitse staatssecretaris of Amerikaanse investeerder. En de toehoorders vliegen er altijd in. Eerst is men ge\u00efmponeerd (\u2018dat ze die vent hebben kunnen krijgen!\u2019), daarna verbaasd over de humor van de aanvankelijk zo serieuze spreker \u2013 want ik ben een cabaretier die zich vermomt als saaie piet.<\/p>\n

Mijn zelfgemaakte journalistenpasje is tegenwoordig een powerpoint slide met gepikt logo, mijn cover story de aankondiging in het programma, aangevuld met de eerste paar minuten van mijn speech. Maar verder is er niets veranderd: nog steeds kruip ik in de huid van een ander en kom daar glansrijk mee weg.<\/p>\n

In het geval van de Elfstedentocht was het om mijzelf een onvergetelijke ervaring te bezorgen. Ik had immers mijn hele leven al aan imitaties gedaan; hoe kon ik dat talent beter benutten dan voor dit grote doel? Tegenwoordig benut ik het in dienst van mijn opdrachtgevers. Op hun verzoek \u2018infiltreer\u2019 ik in settings waar het publiek ernst verwacht. Daar doe ik er eerst een schepje bovenop (\u2018pff, wat een zwaar verhaal!\u2019), om dan, geheel onverwacht, met een bevrijdend halfuurtje topcabaret te komen \u2013 zonder uit mijn rol te vallen. Je zou mij humorspion kunnen noemen. Mijn naam is De Rijk. Pieter de Rijk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
