Comedy is a tough business to get ahead in, let alone become one of the highest-ranking comics of all time. But that’s what Scott Thompson achieved going by the stage-name Carrot Top during the 1990s. He quickly rose to the status of pop culture icon with his unique brand of prop humor that he later blended together with dazzling stage effects. His act grew to eventually include dozens of staff and large vehicles to get everything set up at more than 200 shows per year until he finally landed a contract to perform live in Las Vegas six nights a week at the Luxor Resort and Casino.
Scott Thompson has been fascinating crowds of fans with his intellect and creativity for more than 20 years, and his steady gig at the Luxor keeps him on stage more than ever before. This level of exposure on stage is probably the last place you would expect someone to be who is shy, but that was the first hurdle Carrot Top had to overcome to step into the limelight. He got his start at an open-mic night when he was a freshman at college in Boca Raton, Fla. Seeing that he was well-received, he decided to do it again, but this time he added his first prop. Shortly thereafter, his originality got him a spot on
The Tonight Show
in 1992, and once the public marveled at his routine, the demand for him just continued to rise along with his notoriety. He always keeps an audience amused with his zany tactics that consistently pull current events into the mix for a raucous night of hearty belly laughs and wacky exchanges with fans.
