Big Top Pee-wee  There’s an old maxim that states that everyone
in show business is fake. The traditional interpretation of that
is that everyone in Hollywood is ready to be kind to your face,
but stab you in the back and probably piss on the wound. That
may be an exaggeration, but in the case of these 6 comedians,
though, they really are fake. As in literally fake. Their public
personae are carefully crafted, and you only occasionally see
the real person behind it. Most of the time it’s just an
extension of the person’s actual personality, but some of them
are completely and totally fictitious people. For example, Bono
is an experimental attention-seeking robot. Or take Neil Patrick
Harris, who is actually a shaved ferret. You had no idea, right?
Here are six comedians that almost never break the fourth wall
to reveal their true selves.    Got a Tip? Send it here: Neil
