The first project from the company is “The Big Question,” an interview show hosted by Bob featuring friends, colleagues, fellow comedians and even strangers. The premiere episode tackled, “Why do Black people hate musicals?”

Purse First Studios will soon launch “Back in My Day” where the mic will be handed to queer elders for them to share and reflect on their lives, the evolution of queer culture and what things were like “back in their day.”

“Purse First Studios has so many amazing projects coming up,” Bob said in a statement Thursday. “I’ve lived so much of my career in front of the camera, now I want to show you what I can do behind the scenes as well.”

Additional launches coming soon include exclusive stand-up specials, weekly podcasts, a morning show, a pop culture roundup, as well as live events and much more.

Since winning “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 8, Bob has starred in film and television projects, including HBO’s “We’re Here” and NBC’s “The Traitors,” created the award-winning podcast “Sibling Rivalry” with his drag sister Monét X Change, and most recently released his New York Times best-selling debut novel, “Harriet Tubman: Live In Concert.”

Bob is represented by UTA, Producer Entertainment Group and Gangtyre.

He also spoke about Purse First’s YouTube page earlier this week in a TikTok video. “This is going to be a place where the GGs and Ts – the girls, gays and theys – can get together, hang out and have fun,” Bob said. “It’s a place where you can enjoy content that is made for queer audiences by queer people…It’s going to be fun.”
