Scott Thompson, aka Carrot Top, excels in turning ordinary household items into props that set the whole world laughing. Need a few examples? Glad you asked: A slipper with a bumper on the end for those prone to stubbing their toes; a large piece of cardboard with two holes cut out in the middle—the application for a job at Hooters; an envelope shaped like a middle finger, and you send it to the IRS when filing your taxes. Yep, as you can see, there’s no end to Carrot Top’s creativity, or the laughs you’ll experience at one of his shows.
“From birth to mirth, I love seeing the process, to make it and see it work is like your baby,” Carrot Top explained to Las Vegas Magazine. “I never cared about being labeled a prop comic as long as ‘comic’ is in there. … But years ago I was in a junkyard and I saw a little mini-toilet. What’s funny about a mini-toilet? So I took it and figured I’d come up with something.” That gag? Maybe one of his most famous: a plate for bulimics so they can eat and throw up. Hey, we never said he was politically correct.
