Open Question: What do you think of this street performing/comedy/video idea? is it original enough?

So basically I've decided to try out pulling pranks and comedy acts in public in hopes of getting attention from whoever and feedback. One of these pranks or acts (whichever title fits best) I'm going to perform involves a bigfoot. Basically, I walk around various public places normally, then out of nowhere a guy dressed as bigfoot (supposed to be bigfoot) attacks me and I get into a big fight. Eventually, either I knock him out or he knocks me out. Either way, I take it completely serious as if a sasquatch actually just attacked me. If the sasquatch wins, he walks around normally and may interact with the surroundings like a normal person. For example, if the fight were to occur at a party, the sasquatch knocks me out and hangs out at the party and has a drink or two while I'm knocked out on the floor. This act will be filmed for the most part, and probably posted on youtube. What do you think of this? Do you think it's funny and/or a good/bad idea? Also, do you think this is original? Has anyone tried this before? I took inspiration from comedy skits involving people on the streets. I don't expect to be completely original and innovative, but I'd hope to at least be original enough to get recognition for this. Thanks. By the way, if I get into any trouble with the law, to some extent (and yes I have limits) I will still keep it part of the act.... Read More »
