Tom Mayo

Thomas Woodman Hodgson-Mayo (born July 10th, 1989), better known as Tom Mayo, is a British improv comedian, writer, editor and administrator. He is the tallest member of Shoot From The Hip (SFTH), an award-winning, TikTok-viral British improv group. Within the group, he is known for his various monologues (particularly Shakespearean), his stagecraft, and his ability to portray childlike characters. His notable roles as part of SFTH include: Xavier in "Oh My God, Is This A Joke?", Jimmy in "Toby's Secret Pocket", as well as Sherlock Holmes in "The Mystery of the Midnight Circus", a role he reprised in "The Final Baker of Baker Street". Although all SFTH members interact with the audience, he is known in particular for interacting with the audience while in character, for example in "The Leftenmost Window" and "Lemons on a Plane". As Tom Woodman, he is also the writer of Future, an LGBTQ+ sci-fi graphic novel with a focus on time travel.
