Bella Hull is an English comedian and writer who has taken solo stand-up shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and made appearances on BBC and ITV television comedy shows.

Early life

[edit]

Hull grew up in London and spent some time in Henley during holidays, after her parents separated. Her father is Indian.[1] Hull studied History of Art at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, from 2016-2019, where she was a member of Footlights.[2][3]

Comedy career

[edit]

Hull first performed at an open mic event at the age of 17, in a pub in London. She did some comedy while at Cambridge university, and was on the Footlights committee in 2018-2019, alongside Ania Magliano, and others.[4] She turned her attention to stand-up comedy in London after graduating. In 2019, Hull won the competition for the Yellow Comedy 'young comedian of the year',[5] and she continued doing some open mic work during the Covid pandemic.[6] In 2022, Hull took her show Babycakes to the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time. This later ran at the Soho Theatre.[7]

In 2024 Hull took her show Piggie around the UK and then to the Edinburgh Fringe.[1][8] Her 2025 Edinburgh Fringe show Doctors Hate Her won favourable reviews for its 'sharp writing and precise performance'.[9] The Standard declared her show to be 'hugely entertaining' with a 'superb closing pay-off'.[10] One of her jokes was rated as one of the funniest of the 2025 fringe.[11]

Hull has supported acts including Phil Wang and Russell Howard on tour, and has appeared on the Stand up sketch show on ITV2 and on Stand up for live comedy.[12]

In November 2025, Hull made her debut on the long-running BBC television comedy show Have I Got News For You, with Richard Ayoade as host.[13] In January 2026, Hull appeared on the BBC Radio 4 panel show You heard it here first, hosted by Chris McCausland.[14]
