"The only problem with being unannounced is the accreditation system…
I was going to the accreditation people, and they're asking 'Who are you, what's your act?'
I say, well, I'm the mystery act.
'Ok, so what's your name?'
I give them my name, and then they go 'No, I'm afraid you're not on the list…'
Well, that's because I'm the mystery act.
'But how do we know it's you?'"
