New hyper fixation unlocked: four British men who play pretend games onstage for a living

[dearreaders-things]

things i love about when the sfth boys break:

luke is most likely to absolutely fold and we love him for that. loud laughter from offstage always. who needs a audience when you've got luke. also he's pretty good at snapping back into character lol

sam does the most hilarious expressions when he's trying to hold back his laughs lmfaoo. when he breaks he breaks HARD

aj has such a brilliant smile?? like i'm not even joking he looks like a model every time he flashes a grin after he says smth funny. it's a very nice smile ok

tom scrunches up his entire face bc he refuses to laugh in a scene and it's so endearing. rarely do we get the low chuckle when he's offstage and i love it when we do

Shoot From The Hip but if AJ was an anime protagonist

Even though it was a short sketch, I enjoyed the Esmeralda/Vampire Slayer dynamic (sorry Ybbob😔)

Shoot from the Hip!

Hyperfixating on a British improv comedy group was NOT on my 2024 bingo. Anyway, they’re amazing!

THE GRAPE DEPRESSION

Once again the boys at Shoot From The Hip have created another masterpiece.

Not for the first time, Tom Mayo steals the show as yet another sweet and endangered child, frail of limb but innocent and good at hugs

The Don Vincenzio (AJ keeps making up foreign names and the others keep getting them wrong lol, see The Phantom Begruvia) may or may not be connected to the Sicilian Mafia. We know he has enemies, because they kidnapped his son once upon a time

The Don missing his own son and wanting another "my heart is starving" and being heartless until he gets his son back

Maria being an interesting counterpoint to this because she is also willing to go to great lengths for the sake of protecting her family (and getting back to how things were before; both she and the Don want to go back to their own happy family past)

AJ seemed to be having a lot of fun playing the Messed-Up Wooden Boy Thing, so that's nice for him

Geppetto being a father desperate to save his children made me feel Emotions...especially when he offered to give up his soul rather than kill Pinocchio...when he cried over Pinocchio's wooden remains...

Tom making his dying outstretched hand turn to a little wooden treelike thing was a nice touch. I expected nothing less of my beloved. Not to mention the bit where he came back from the dead and said "I have Seen the Great Beyond!! A great beast waits in the dark for us all!! :)" Lovecraftian but without the racism. All hail our unproblematic king.

That last spooky bit, working with all the other Spooky Bits, the inhuman wooden man-boy, the sister willing to murder to keep her family alive, the Don threatening his tenants unless they give him a son, and yet the Spookiness is balanced by Love; they work together like apples and caramel. A perfect story for this autumn time of year.

All my favorite SFTH plays balance humor with serious Dramatic Feelings. I think the Grief and Love and Drama make the humor more meaningful and more unexpected. The guys aren't afraid to make the characters genuinely care about each other. (And honestly the stories they come up with are Pretty Darn Good even when you ignore the humor part. Funny how people make better stories when they're not trying to fit the standards of What's Marketable or What's Clever and Cool.)

In conclusion, your honor, I love Tom so much
