The mc doesn't announce the names of the acts in case they get cut from the broadcast. If Dave finished his spot then said "and here's Mike Wilmot" and his spot was cut then it would make the mc spot unusable.
Also, everyone uses old rope so they don't burn any of their new festival gear. There is no point in doing something that will be in your show if it gets people to come along and see you but they don't laugh because they have seen your stuff already.
