Bob is a regular contributor to Out magazine where he writes the popular monthly list column and feature articles. He recently appeared in HBO's documentary about the first gay and lesbian family cruise, All Aboard — Rosie's Family Cruise.

In 2007, Bob will be doing standup on Logo's series Wisecracks, and he'll also be one of six gay male comics featured in the Logo documentary film Laughing Matters – The Men.

When a burned out Hollywood sketch show writer named Nelson Kunker meets and falls for Roy Briggs, a part-time salmon fisherman / full-time archaelogy student who's visiting from Alaska, hilarity, love and debauchery ensue.
