Ex-gf was an amateur actress, long red hair, pale skin, grey eyes. Sitting at the back patio bar one night and she just breaks out in Scottish with this group, pretending she’s just got here and is visiting. Guys are eating this up, everyone asking her questions. Good god this went on for a couple of hours and not a soul suspected. I sat there in awe, kept my trap shut.

I did something like this once. I was meeting a friend at a bar and she was with another guy I never met. I had just moved back to the US from Germany, so she introduced me and said “he just moved here from Germany,” not realizing that it wasn’t clear I was American. So he starts asking me how I like it here etc, and I threw on a German accent and went with it (I speak some German too). I pretended that my English was a bit rough but could get by.
We hung out for like two hours and then when I got ready to leave I dropped the accent and said in my normal Midwestern American voice “Ok cool to hang with you bro imma head out,” and left.

Over a decade ago now, when Tennant was still The Doctor, (I think during the airing of either the 1st or 2nd season with him), I managed to learn a fairly close approximation of his English accent and verbiage from a few online friends I had at the time (I am American with a PNW accent).
Halloween was coming up. I managed to find a blue pinstripe suit at a thrift store. Told all my friends who were hosting a Halloween party to just pretend I was an exchange student.
It actually worked, I was able to convince everyone who wasn’t in on it that I actually was English.
Sadly, practically no one knew of Doctor Who.
I remember multiple times saying ‘why I’m the Doctor’ as a response to ‘What’s your costume?’
This was then followed by ‘Doctor… Who?’ to which I would reply ‘Precisely’ or ‘Yes, you’ve got it’.
To which they would make a confused face and I would then suggest drinks, as one of my multiple hearts broke and died.
