Then have "work" and don't try to make "fun" into "work". Who care if someone looks at your job title and judges you poorly for it? That's not someone you'd probably want to associate with anyway.
It's a living and everyone's gotta make one. Alternately, you could always introduce yourself by your "fun" identity first.
"Hi! I'm Zhao Yi and I'm a dancer." "So you make money as a dancer?" "No, but being a dancer is more important to me than being a pharmacy monkey." or "Fuck you, that's an awfully personal question!" or "Well, I don't make a profit." :P
