Bob the Drag Queen

Bob the Drag Queen is an American drag queen, comedian, and actor who won Season 8 of RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2016. Born Caldwell Tidicue in Columbus, Georgia, Bob became one of the most successful and influential winners in Drag Race history.

Before Drag Race, Bob was a fixture in the New York City drag scene, known for political activism and sharp comedy. The victory on Season 8 launched a multifaceted career spanning television, music, podcasting, and live performance.

Bob has built an impressive post-Drag Race career, hosting the popular podcast “Sibling Rivalry” with fellow queen Monét X Change and starring in HBO’s “We’re Here,” which brings drag shows to small-town America. The show earned critical acclaim for promoting LGBTQ+ acceptance.

In 2025, Bob appeared on The Traitors Season 3, bringing trademark wit and strategic gameplay to the competition. Known for using the platform to advocate for social justice causes, Bob has become one of the most recognizable and respected figures in the drag community.
