Added DiffLines:

* CoconutSuperpowers: Due to the improvised nature of Shoot From The Hip shows, actual special effects are nonexistent and the actors have to find other ways to indicate that magic and other fantasy elements are in play. For instance, to indicate that a {{flashback}} sequence is about to happen, the actor(s) will usually just spin around in circles with their arms in the air and repeat whatever phrase triggered the flashback to simulate a FadeOut.

Shoot From The Hip is a British improvised comedy group composed of Tom Mayo, Sam Russell-Holmes, Alexander "AJ" Jeremy, and Luke Manning. The four met and began performing together in 2011 while in university, rising to fame in 2022 after uploading a clip of one of their shows to [=TikTok=]. They are currently based primarily in London, although they have begun to experiment with international performances.

Shoot From The Hip shows are two-act performances wherein the first act is composed entirely of improv games and the second act is a fully improvised longform play. The group bases all of their scenes off of AudienceParticipation, with the actors taking suggestions from the audience for aspects of the story such as the relationship between characters, the setting, the genre of the scene, the title of their longforms, or the opening line of dialogue. Shoot From The Hip also does live streams from their homes that follow the same format as their live shows, taking prompts from the chat.

* MrExposition: Shoot From The Hip's content is completely improvised – except for Sam's beginning-of-show {{Infodump}} that, among other things, introduces the concept of improvised comedy to audience members who may be unfamiliar with it, warms up the audience for AudienceParticipation, and is almost always the same, regardless of what the audience does or says.
