JUST ANNOUNCED!
Scoochie Boochie Monday Dec 15th!
Tickets onsale FRI 10am
at theottobar.com
Scoochie Boochie was born from a volcano, and now he’s the best rapper in the United States. Since 2015 Scoochie Boochie has been crafting clever innuendo and shockingly catchy flows into five albums: which tell a connected cinematic story known as the Scoochiverse. After 10 years grinding in the comedy scenes of Grand Rapids, MI and Chicago, the eruption finally began in January of 2025, when music videos for Car Butt, I Have Sex, and several other songs went viral, opening the floodgates for 300,000+ new fans who have discovered the rest of his catalog is also fire. It’s like The Lonely Island plus lore. Follow @scoochie_boochie on Instagram for new videos and upcoming shows.
It`s that crisp Ottobar time of year!
Cozy up with a soothing beverage and come rock out with all these AWESOME SHOWS this Fall!
