According to the Rialto's marketing staff:

"Scott 'Carrot Top' Thompson has been making audiences around the world laugh for more than three decades. Since his debut on 'Star Search,' Carrot Top has soared to success and became one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world. Since 2005, fans have flocked to his Las Vegas headlining residency at Luxor Hotel and Casino to catch comedy’s King of Props induce sidesplitting laughter with his current take on pop culture, music, and headlines of the day in a continually evolving show.

"With a dozen trunks filled with approximately 200 props on stage each night, audience members can count on not seeing the same show twice. 'I love creating props that are relevant to whatever’s current – from a news headline to a song I heard on the radio.'

"Carrot Top got his start as a student at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida during his freshman year, when he went to a club and saw live standup comedy for the first time. A few months later, his roommate convinced him to sign up at an open mic night and after a handful of nerve-wracking first performances, he had caught the comedy bug.

"After building a following on the comedy circuit that made people laugh nearly every weekend, his first television appearance was on “Comic Strip Live” in 1991. Things changed for Carrot Top forever in 1992 with his first appearance on “The Tonight Show.” That appearance exposed his unique brand of comedy to every home in America. After an impressive 31 appearances, Carrot Top had the distinct honor of appearing on the very last episode of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Carrot Top’s other credits included hundreds of television programs including “Live with Regis and Kelly,” “The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” and many more. Most recently, he appeared in “Sharknado: The 4th Awakens,” “The Hangover,” and the Trailer Park Boys’ film “Swearnet: The Movie.” Carrot Top’s shows are a spectacle worthy of most arena rock bands and features lights, music, fog machines, and streamer cannons – all in addition to his trunks full of props."
