Piet Klocke (born 20 December 1948) is a German musician, cabaret artist, author and actor.
From 1980 on, Klocke has appeared in various TV productions and shows, including the thriller In den Todeskrallen des Dr. Do (In the Death Claws of Dr. Do) for ARD and a Saturday-night show called Flitterabend, also on ARD.
In an interview, Klocke named the German cabaret artist Werner Finck as one of his role models.
[1] Piet Klocke's trademark role is Professor Schmitt-Hindemith in his show "Musikstilarten im auslaufenden Jahrtausend" (Music styles of the Ending Millennium), where he is accompanied by saxophonist Simone Sonnenschein as Fräulein Angelika Kleinknecht.
As Professor Schmitt-Hindemith, Klocke dresses eccentrically, and uses his scrubby red hair and lean figure to create an image of a helplessly nervous person, speaking in a very distracted way and leaving most of his sentences unfinished.
