Carrot Top is like that kid in school that was a nonstop fount of comedy. Everything the kid did was effortlessly funny and he could make you laugh uncontrollably—until you were sent to the principal’s office because you were deemed a disruptive presence while the kid turned back to his sketchbook and satirized the poor student who accidentally passed gas in class by expertly drawing a giant butt blowing up a farmhouse with a burst of flatulence.
Not that Carrot Top ever made fun of anyone. His humor was a natural defense against being teased for living in Florida but not having the tan, surfer’s build and sun-streaked hair that was predominant in teen social hierarchies of coastal culture. Before his mop of red hair became a comic asset, he learned to distract and disarm people who might make light of his pale skin and gangly frame with humor, and he got very good at it. Carrot Top learned to become the life of the party.
The party is now in a theater on the mezzanine level at the Luxor. Carrot Top’s physique is now that of a bodybuilder who segued into cardio after retiring from competition, but the mop of hair is so iconic now that dedicated fans come to shows wearing Carrot Top wigs. Prop comedy is the foundation of his show, with sight gags coming faster than the brain can process at some points.
Carrot Top’s mental sketchbook for his current comedy phase is often filled with ideas that incorporate video, which do not translate well to television talk shows. Carrot Top is best experienced live, where at points he may run through the crowd and give personal smiles to audience members in the first few rows. He gets athletic towards the finale, which is the best way to describe the climactic conclusion without spoiling the surprise.
Uncontrollable laughter will not be considered disruptive.
