I had a problem with number ten (not clearly identifying myself as a performer) when doing a street act for the Philly Fringe Festival. I was a priest of Cthulhu. I vastly overestimated how many people knew about Cthulhu. Rather than seeing a man performing satire, most people assumed I was a genuine lunatic preaching a bizarre religion I truly believed in.

If I had it to do over again, I would have gone as a priest of Sauron. The LOTR movies were in theaters at the time and people would have gotten the joke.
