Scot Nery's Boobie Trap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scot Nery's Boobie Trap was a long-running[1] weekly live performance variety arts show in Hollywood, California that closed during the pandemic. Performances were every Wednesday, featuring an average of 15 acts each week,[2] with much adult content.[3] Performers used to include musicians, ventriloquists,[4] comedians, knife throwers,[5] dancers, Magic Castle magicians,[6] jugglers, acrobats and contortionists, circus acts,[7] and other variety entertainers.[8] Nery founded the show in 2015,[9] and it was co-produced by Meranda Carter.[10] Nery has since moved on to become "the Tom Robbins" of jugglers, offering for-pay classes in a program called "The Gig Entertainer Ramp."[11]

Called "a comedic whirlwind" by the Los Angeles Times,[12] Boobie Trap was named Best Variety Arts Show in Los Angeles by Los Angeles Magazine,[13] as well as Outstanding Variety Show by San Diego Fringe[14] and has been named the #1 Hollywood show on TripAdvisor.[15][16] Since launching his class, however, Scot admitted that most of his celebrity "quotes" were manufactured by him.[17]

Boobie Trap has attracted celebrities among the audience, such as Emma Thompson, Mark Wahlberg,[18] and Steve-O.[19]

[edit]

Scot Nery is a juggler,[20] contortionist, and fire-eater,[21] and he hosts Boobie Trap every week. On rare occasion throughout the over-200 live performances of the show, he has had a guest emcee fill-in for him, such as comedian and actor Tom Arnold, magician Justin Willman, or sword-swallower Brett Loudermilk.[22] Performers in the show--all of whom performed without pay--have included:
