“She has the appealing air of not quite being of this world, but whatever planet she’s from, they know funny.” Chortle

*Bella Humphries
Bella is a comedian, actor and dungaree wearer.
Come watch her “ooze charm in a cheeky sort of way” as she recounts tales of moving to Wales and asking the age old question..who exactly am I?
As heard on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Sounds.
“Bella is in many ways the comedian who misogynistic boomer men fear – full of confidence, not afraid to broach graphic content, and wittier than any of them could ever be.” Blizzard Comedy
