It’s so much more rewarding [with a student audience] because they’re there for all of it. They’re there for Anthony being gorgeous because he’s gorgeous, so when he says ‘Let’s strip down to our socks’ it’s like, ‘Aaah!’ – ten kids just started puberty. Twenty girls just started puberty and ten guys just figured something out. ‘Oh. Oh this. I know this about myself now.’ The inverse is true for Jasmine. Jasmine did one of our video Ham4Hams and the overwhelming comment was from teenage girls saying, ‘I’m so gay, I’m SO GAY.’ That’s because they’re in love with her.
