Life


Caldwell was born on June 22, 1986 in Columbus, Georgia.[1] He currently resides in New York City. Before becoming a drag queen, Caldwell worked in children’s theater for years and "always found children to be a source of joy for [him]."[3] He is also an LGBT activist and spoke on RuPaul's Drag Race of a moment when he was protesting for LGBT rights and was arrested in drag.[4]


He is the drag mother of Miz Cracker[5] and drag sister to Monét X Change,[citation needed] who placed fifth and sixth, respectively, on Season 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race.



Career



Drag career beginnings


Caldwell started doing drag after watching the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race. Since his first presentations, his character was focused on stand-up comedy routines, and he started lip-syncing after a couple of months into his drag.[6] His initial stage name was Kittin Withawhip, and he was featured in Leland Bobbé's Half Drag Series with this name.[7] In 2013, Caldwell changed his stage name to Bob the Drag Queen.[8]



RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8


On February 1, 2016, Bob was revealed as a cast member on the eighth season of RuPaul's Drag Race.[9] On the show, he was noted for his focus on comedy. During the show, he won three challenges, including the recurring Snatch Game (where he portrayed Uzo Aduba and Carol Channing). On May 16, 2016, Bob was crowned the winner of the season and received a cash prize of $100,000.[2]



Other ventures


In 2016, shortly after winning Drag Race, Bob released the single "Purse First" featuring DJ Mitch Ferrino. He also collaborated with Alaska Thunderfuck on the single "Yet Another Dig" in 2017,[10] and contributed to the compilation album Christmas Queens 3 (2017).[11] He collaborated with Shangela for a Christmas theme song, "Deck A Ho" in December 2017.[12]


On March 15, 2018, Bob debuted the podcast Sibling Rivalry on SoundCloud, with Rupaul's Drag Race Season 10 sixth place contestant Monét X Change as co-host.[13] On April 2, 2018, a video version of the podcast was uploaded to YouTube.[14]


Bob appeared as a guest co-host alongside Trixie Mattel on The Trixie & Katya Show, filling in for regular co-host Katya during her hiatus.[15] His TV comedy special, Bob the Drag Queen: Suspiciously Large Woman, aired on Logo in July 2017.[16]


Under the name of Caldwell Tidicue, he played the role of Belize in Berkeley Rep’s production of Angels in America from April to July 2018. [17]

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
