Listen Later

Yve Blake is a playwright, composer, musical comedian and actor.

Yve is one of the first to receive the Rebel Wilson Theatre Making Scholarship where she developed a musical call Fangirls, which also stars Yve and has just completed its first season.

In addition to her play, Yve has given a TEDx talk on the topic of fan girls where she explores the way in which our perception of fans is gendered, asking why it is acceptable for one group of people to have intense feelings and emotions while others are belittled and told they are being silly.
