Carrot Top is set to return to the stage for his Las Vegas residency after his suicide attempt last month.
Tickets to see the stand-up comedian — born Scott Christopher Thompson — at the Luxor Hotel and Casino are now selling for daily shows starting on Oct. 19.
According to the hotel’s website, the show’s schedule was last updated Thursday morning.
Thompson, 61, kickstarted his long-standing residency in 2005.
A rep for Thompson wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
The actor was hospitalized on Sept. 18 following a suicide attempt at his Las Vegas home.
He was transported to the hospital in critical condition after he was found unconscious near the pool in his backyard following a welfare check, according to a police report obtained by Page Six.
Thompson’s manager requested the welfare check shortly after getting off the phone with his client regarding an article with sexual misconduct allegations that was set to be released.
According to the report, Thompson’s manager claimed the comedian expressed concern about the allegations against him and texted “done” shortly after hanging up the phone.

Thompson was hospitalized until around Sept. 26, when he was released to recover at home, Page Six confirmed.
He was spotted for the first time since his suicide attempt and hospitalization attending church services at St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Roman Catholic Church in Las Vegas on Oct. 4.
Thompson appeared in good spirits as he left the services alone. He also stepped out to church with his mom, Dona Wood, the following Sunday.
Thompson’s suicide attempt came amid his legal battle with his former opener Brian Evans, who worked with him at his Las Vegas residency show.
Evans allegedly threatened Thompson with releasing a sexually explicit video of him if he wasn’t paid a $500,000 settlement, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.
Evans denied the allegations against him in a statement to Page Six, saying he “never threatened — ever — to post any video anywhere in exchange for a settlement.”
Evans also alleged the video was “deleted a long time ago” and added that he was “sorry that Scott apparently did something to hurt himself.”
