“Riki Rachtman’s One Foot In The Gutter is a highly praised, intimate, and uncensored one-man storytelling show, described as a “back-alley confessional” rather than a standard celebrity highlight reel. It delivers hilarious,, emotional stories covering the Sunset Strip, Cathouse, and Headbangers Ball eras, earning reviews for being “inspirational” and raw.”

MS NEWS / April 28th 2026 — Holy Mega Tour… Riki Rachtman has just announced a ‘One Foot In The Gutter‘ summer tour and it’s a whopper.
Rachtman has already finished a short Midwest run earlier in the spring but this July and August the Cathouse founder will be going coast-to-coast playing nearly 2 dozen dates.
Rachtman has been doing his OFITG tour stops for a few years now, and usually for about a week or two at a time, but this summer the former Headbanger’s Ball host will be hitting the road for what just might be his biggest and longest tour to date.
Rachtman‘s shows have been a popular ticket as he’s been shoulder-to-shoulder with some of music’s biggest stars for years, and much of it was during the 80’s and 90’s when things were at their peak.
Now the Hollywood kid club owner turned MTV veejay has essentially turned his brand into a spoken word of sorts, where Riki tells some crazy stories, shares some of the good, the bad, the ugly and likely even some sad stuff that took place during the height of Hollywood.
The reviews have for the most part been great for Rachtman, and whether it’s Spoken Word, or a Story Teller type setting is all irrelevant, because what you’re really going to get is a lot of old skool stories from one of the best decades ever and Riki was smack dab in the middle of it for the entire era.
Rachtman shared his tour ad-mat earlier in the week and wrote: “HERE ARE THE FINAL DATES OF MY SUMMER TOUR. Tickets to all shows on sale now. Some shows still have VFI meet and greet and road crew passes. You can get all your tickets right now at Cathouse Hollywood.”
Riki also has options for you to be a VFI (not sure, but this might mean Very F#@king Important, as opposed to being a VIP) and a cool option, to be a roadie for the day with his WE ARE THE ROAD CREW package… which oddly, has already Sold Out in almost every city.
Below is a full tour schedule and there are dates in a ton of places he’s never toured previously, so make sure to get your tickets earlier and go support.
