Scott “Carrot Top” Thompson, and his trademark red locks, is one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world. “Nobody can steal my act,” said Carrot Top, who uses a dozen trunks filled with approximately 200 props on stage each night. “I love creating props that are relevant to whatever’s current – from a news headline to a song I heard on the radio.”

“When I started touring at the beginning of my career, I had two trunks and a strobe light,” said Carrot Top. “Things got pretty crazy pretty fast and before I knew it, I had a team touring the country in an 18-wheeler with 35 trunks full of props.”
