 When Carrot Top takes the stage in the Atrium Showroom at the Luxor Hotel Casino, in front of his endless number of trunks, he turns the audience into Pandora, curious for what`s inside. But no evil spills out from these boxes -- only props -- the contents of Carrot Top`s wild imagination.
The red-haired comedian turns the stage into a one-man circus, sharing the creative contents as a video screen behind him and well-timed music punctuate his every thought. As the ringleader frenetically runs back and forth on stage, the audience is left wondering what he`ll be pulling out and what he`ll think of next. From a variety of microphones -- including Whitney Houston`s, which is attached to a bong, to Rush Limbaugh`s, which easily dispenses pills -- no subject is sacred to the AT&T pitchman.
Taking the top headlines and interpreting them in his own way, Carrot Top shares his creations, from Martha Stewart`s prison-striped apron to Michael Jackson`s witness in a high chair. However, the American Comedy Award winner for the Best Male Stand-Up doesn`t discriminate. Celebrities, rednecks, Las Vegas and even the comedian himself are at the mercy of his creativity, as everything and everyone are fair game to the self-deprecating comic.
The ever-observant performer points out the irony of a stolen Crime Watch sign and the countless number of cornbread references in country songs. The comedian also gives a nod to others on the Strip, performing his version of the Bellagio fountains using two spray bottles and also re-enacting Blue Man Group, complete with a blue mask and toilet paper.
Whether he`s paying tribute to rock stars by dancing and lip-synching or sharing his version of an Amish blow-dryer, it`s evident Carrot Top`s trunks are full of everything but evil, like Pandora`s, yet he readily admits, "It`s mean, but it`s funny as s*%t." And nobody in the audience can disagree.
