Carrot Top Comedians have always used props – from Jonathan Winters to Steve Martin. But before Carrot Top, no comic had ever actually created props, not as puns, but as humorous inventions. Nothing new in show business? It’s all been done before? With a Rube Goldberg genius for gadgets and rock ’n’ roll in-your-face energy, Carrot Top is a comedian unlike any other – ever. “Nobody can steal my act,” says Carrot Top (a.k.a. Scott Thompson). “I’ve challenged comics to write me a prop and they can’t. Comedians have done plays on words but writing a visual joke is something else. A rubber chicken isn’t enough. I have to write my own material, make my own props, because no one sells what I do – like the paper-cup-and-string-telephone with a third cup for call waiting. I’m happy not only that I have my own style but I’ve been an original from the very start.”
