Bella Hull’s Mad Cow Disease opens with some nice “predatory” crowdwork. It’s the perfect beginning to a show that wields its bite and freakdom to full effect.
Bella Hull is a confident performer who thrives when on stage, the audience immediately warm to her as she gets them laughing from the outset.
