when it comes to being hypnotised at any of those entertainment shows and someone is told to be a famous person who they don’t know who they are then what happens to the persons mind?

You can’t be hypnotized, by any definition of the word, into doing something you have no information on. There is no psychic transfer of information- you have to know it or explicitly be told. If somewhere were truly in a hypnotic state, they’d either guess or not do anything.
Speaking as someone who was “hypnotized” at a show, I remember just feeling the pressure to go along with it in front of the audience so I clucked like a chicken when given that instruction. I figured I’d play along because it’s entertainment and no one wants to be the one to kill the magic just like no one wants to tell children about Santa.
I don’t actually believe in hypnosis any more than I believe people who think they’re drinking a lot believe they’re drunk (and act like it) even if their beverage is super weak. The power of suggestion is a lot stronger than many of us realize.
