A pop culture icon returns to the State Theatre as comedian Carrot Top is set to take the stage on Sunday, March 19th. This marks the 10th time Carrot Top is performing at the historic venue and the first since 2005.

Show time is 7:30 PM. Tickets are $52 & $47 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610.252.3132 or online at www.statetheatre.org. This show is for mature audiences only.

With his trademark red locks and the undeniably inventive use of props Carrot Top has vaulted to the level that most comedians can only hope to reach. With three decades of comedic performance in his rear view mirror, Carrot Top is one of the most popular, recognizable and successful comedians in America. After years of playing out to sold-out shows throughout the country, he has now become a Las Vegas icon as well, celebrating his tenth anniversary with the Luxor Resort and Casino at the end of 2015, while recently extending his deal through 2020.

After an impressive 31 appearances on "The Tonight Show", Carrot Top had the distinct honor of appearing on the very last episode of with Jay Leno" in February of 2014. Carrot Top's other credits include hundreds of TV programs including "Live with Regis and Kelly," "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher," "The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson," "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," "Last Comic Standing," "Criss Angel - Mindfreak," and "Tosh.O", among many others.

Carrot Top went from working small clubs in the late 1980's to becoming the highest grossing touring comedian in America by the late 1990's. A spectacle worthy of most rock bands, Carrot Top's show is filled with lights, music, fog machines and confetti cannons. "I went from two trunks and a strobe light to an 18-wheeler and 35 trunks full of props....from a Yugo to a tour bus for the crew and myself. I actually had to hire people to carry my props. It got pretty crazy pretty fast."

Then came the move that every comic hopes to make, a regular gig on the Strip in Las Vegas. After headlining at MGM Grand for 16 weeks a year, he signed a very lucrative and long-term deal with the Luxor Hotel and Casino. He performs almost 300 shows a year in the Atrium Theatre. Fans flock to see his show because it is as current as today's headlines, consistently poking fun at pop culture, politics, music and whatever the real world has to offer. No one is safe from the "King of Props" hilarious and infectious humor.
