“I have spent my entire life living and working in rock ‘n’ roll. Nothing has been more gratifying than these live shows” says RIKI RACHTMAN, the former host of Headbangers Ball and creator of the iconic Cathouse nightclub in Hollywood. After his sold-out on-stage debut in Charlotte, North Carolina, Riki Rachtman hit the road this past December bringing One Foot In The Gutter on the road for six shows. Now Riki Rachtman is bringing his one man show to eighteen venues across the United States. One Foot In The Gutter Tour 2023 begins March 29 at Rams Head Onstage in Annapolis, MD and the US segment wraps up at Vinyl in Atlanta on May 20. Riki heads to Australia in June for four more “must see” shows.
With never before seen videos and photos, the show is a fun, fast paced nonstop roller coaster ride, jam packed with stories, tales and true life fables from Riki himself…from growing up in Hollywood, to all the raunch, roll, sleaze, and debauchery that happened at the Cathouse. Never before has he shared his experiences of Headbangers Ball on stage in a spoken word event. However there is much more than that. The struggles and hurdles that found Riki go from Rags to Riches to Rags several times. Riki is uncensored, unapologetic and not at a loss for words.
