chat: Technically, the mystery guest’s status as a performance artist is not defined. If he were, he’s not a musician, comedian, dancer, or circus performer. That also leaves out singer and songwriter. The categories left are puppetry, magic, public speaking, makeup artist, maybe hair stylist and costume designer. Not best known for TV, film, or stage. What’s left for performance mediums? Street poet? Ocean Liners? Youtube? ---
