Carrot Top is back onstage with his first live show in Las Vegas.
One month after attempting suicide, the 61-year-old American comedian and actor took the stage as he blended laughter and tears in his comic show.
Carrot, whose real name is Scott Thompson, also humorously addressed the shocking incident in front of a sold-out crowd at the Luxor Hotel & Casino on Monday, October 19th.
He jokingly said, pointing out at the audience, sitting in the front row, saying these are the real people who really cared for him, "they’re the ones who cared the most."
Later, Carrot noted that the "middle section" might have reacted to his suicide attempt and attended his first gig to know whether "He’s alright" or not.
"The back row’s like, ‘What happened?! What the f–k did he do?! It’s true. Some people have no idea what I’ve done," he continued.
During the show, Carrot further admitted that this was the first time he had had no idea what to say, and then walked over to his famous trunk of props and pulled out a noose.
