welcome to the stage Bob the drag queen it feels like I'm about to be like in like an actual event space with you right now.

Oh yeah this is a performance. Yeah I feel like I'm like there's an audience here.

How are you Bob? I'm pretty good. I've recently moved to Los Angeles.

How long did you live in New York before you moved to LA like very, very recently?

I lived in your state for 12 years.

So I lived there since I was 22, I'm now 34,

and I just moved about a month ago.

Very good.

And did you just move for career reasons or a relationship?

Like why did you move?

Well, I moved to LA because I wanted to buy a home and I felt like I can get more bang

for my buck in the surrounding New York area.

As we know, the surrounding New York area means New Jersey or an hour and a half away in Philadelphia.

And I feel like living in the suburbs of LA, you probably can just live a different life.

I mean, I've also looked at Atlanta. I was looking at Austin, Texas.

Now that Atlanta went blue, now that Georgia went blue, I might go back.

I might go to Atlanta. I'm from Atlanta actually. I'm from Atlanta actually. I grew up all over the South actually.

And what initially brought you to New York City at 22?

Well, I moved to New York City to be a comedian.
