TRANSITIONS ALUMNI TV SUCCESS
Yana Harris | Channel 4’s Comedy Blap ‘Unfair’
Yana has been cast in a 15-minute comedy pilot that is available online on All4 and YouTube. The show is called Unfair and is set in a Showman’s yard in the East End of Glasgow.
This is what Yana had to say about her the experience:
‘ The show tells the story of a sheltered young woman being kicked out if her mums house and moving in with her boyfriend and his family. Her boyfriend however happens to be a Showman and it’s quite the culture shock.
This show is particularly close to me heart as I am ethnically a Showperson and my community is more often than not misrepresented. The show was written by Emma Lennox, who is married to a showman and has been living on a yard for years. I believe it’s based on her experience.
I play Missouri, the intimidating little sister. I also worked alongside Fair Scotland as an advisor helping the production team with accuracy.’
