Honestly, I'm not sure how they recognized me without all the makup and being sober.
That's a great story.
I kinda had the reverse happen to me -- Once, for a Halloween nightclub outing, I dressed up as the Claude Raines' "
Invisible man". I was bandaged from the neck up, wrapped in a nice dressing robe, ascot, gloves -- every square inch covered.

I told no one about my costume -- but just as I walk up to the nightclub, someone yells "Hey- It's CHEYENNE!"
I did do some stage acting in my college days -- sadly I have no shots of that, but after I moved to Seattle I did play with the Rocky Horror crowd for a few years (as Eddie -- of course). Here is a "regular show" shot and one from our Rocky Horror
Muppet Show
