I haven't seen this thread before, but depending on your style (I know it's juggling), maybe being "another" Mr Bean could be very good or very bad.

I think that, wherever possible, people should keep their first names.

"Hey, Tony!"

"Hey, Tony, I'm talking to you."

Ben turns round, realising he's being addressed.

Yes, you'll get used to it after a while, but it's potentially confusing.

Personally, I think Ben Woodling is fine as a performing name.

However, something like "Ben Bean" is good without obviously being a joke name (I once knew a chap called Brian Bean).

If it's your style (hence my comment at the start) you can do "impressions" through your act. Put on a sombrero and hop in the air - "Mexican Jumping Bean." Put on sunglasses, sunhat and get out a mini fan - "Baked Bean". As you see the authorities coming to have a word and you sprint off - "Runner Bean".

On the other hand, that might stink. :wink:

You said you are known as "Bean"

Why not

"The Original Magic Bean"

Hey Ben, just be super glad that your last name is not Dover. You've no doubt already heard that one, too. He-he.
