Carrot Top Keeps The Audience in Stitches at The Luxor Las Vegas
![]()
25 March 2010
Not every comic out there can make a living with stage props and one-liners. It takes a certain kind of genius to be able to pull that off on a regular basis. Just ask Gallagher, with his fruit-smashing extravaganza. Following in similar footsteps, Carrot Top is one of Vegas' hottest comics, and his "aw shucks" humor mixed with a unique prop set has been popular for years.
However, one would be severely remiss to classify Carrot Top as a mere prop comic. This guy has been a world-famous comic for over a decade, appearing in movies, on Comedy Central, on a variety of late night talk shows, and he's a regular at the time honored celebrity roasts. A simple prop comic couldn't pull that off.
Currently, Carrot Top is playing at the Luxor in Las Vegas, and this show, ever-changing as it is, opens to a packed house nearly every night. The 90-minute show isn't necessarily raunchy, but Carrot Top does use a fair bit of foul language, so all guests must be at least 18 years old to enter.
Unlike the abovementioned Gallagher and his style of prop comedy, Carrot Top doesn't rely on prefabricated props to get his point across. He's an inventor at heart, and almost everything he pulls from his giant prop trunk is his own creation. The funny story behind the prop is what always gets the laughs.
Some of his props include a "redneck baby carrier," fashioned from an empty beer box with holes cut out of it; an "Amish hair dryer" made from a simple plastic tube that he blows through to show the manual-dry style; and even a football helmet with a phallic prop attached, used to insult an NFL player he doesn't like.
Las Vegas crowds are famous for giving up on a show they don't like. Even if it's in the middle of the show they're attending, most people will simply get up and leave if they do not approve of what's going on. Carrot Top, despite constant criticism from other competing comics, keeps the audience in stitches from start to finish.
His appearance alone is enough to earn a few laughs. With his tie-dyed shirt, huge red hairdo and self-deprecating demeanor, Carrot Top is sometimes able to simply stand there and get a few laughs. He's a one-of-a-kind comic in Vegas, and the fact that he is so talented leaves people on the edge of their seats waiting for his next prop.
About halfway through the show, an unexpected bucket drops from the ceiling. Inside is a bottle of Canadian whiskey and Carrot Top pours a few shots and starts handing them out to people in the audience. It's only a short intermission, however, and he immediately picks back up where he left off.
The show changes around constantly. He might keep some of the same props, especially if they're working well, but Carrot Top is always adding new material to his show. That's one of the factors that make the show great. Even reading a review, you still never know what you're going to get.
