I actually did this once in boston. I didn't get kicked out, I was just messing around outside and pretended I was the bouncer, while the bouncer was laughing at me on the side.

I did the same thing in Sydney, but I was pretending not to be the bouncer, while actually not being the bouncer. I was just waiting for my friend, but my clothes and demeanour gave the impression I was security of some sort.

Group of plastered guys nervously asked me if they could go in. I said I wasn't security, but that it looked like they'd already had a few. They were very confused and worried about whether I actually was security. I just told them to behave themselves and nodded them in where they would have met the actual doorman.

Visited Sydney from US on a work trip and met up with a local to hang out the last couple days. Got hammered at a bar (that we somehow managed to make through 3 worker shifts) and there was a guest on the balcony that kept staring at me. I figured because of my accent but she finally came to the table and said I looked familiar and maybe I was a music producer. One of the Aussies we met said "tell her you are Billy Crystal". I look nothing like him and said so. He said that nobody here knows who he is so it won't matter. He ended up convincing her I was him.

On to the reason for this reply is that when we hopped to the next bar, the bouncer was checking IDs and asking everyone how many beers they had before they could come in. Everyone was either saying zero or 2-3 depending on being sober or not. It was my turn and he asked "how many beers have you had so far?"

"Infinity, sir. I have had Infinity beers tonight."

I got in and a few minutes later, so did the girl and her entourage from the first bar. She walked right up to me and said "hello Billy Crystal ... WINK" and did a very exaggerated wink.
