Bio

About Bob The Drag Queen:

Non-binary comic/actor Caldwell Tidicue, or “Bob The Drag Queen'' on your 'For You' page, describes himself as “hilarious, beautiful, talented and...humble.” We can credit Bob’s mother for his unabashed confidence that won him the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar'' on season 8 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” as well as multiple acting roles for HBO, Netflix, Sony Tristar, MTV, and VH1.

Through his work co-hosting HBO’s first unscripted show, “We’re Here,” Bob has won a Peabody Award, GLAAD Media Award, and a Television Academy Honors recognition. "Sibling Rivalry", his highly-rated podcast with Monét X Change, has also won a Queerty Award as well as a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Podcast.

Over the past few years, Bob has not had much down time between interviewing with Gayle King, Sherri Shepherd, Ke$ha, and NPR’s Ari Shapiro, attempting murder on third season of Peacock’s “The Traitors”, being the Master of Ceremonies for Madonna’s international Celebration Tour, completing his own world comedy tour, writing a New York Times best-selling book, Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert and releasing his newest comedy special "This is Wild" on exclusively streaming on Hulu.
