  • Written and Performed by: Matt Jenner & Taylor Griffiths

From the mind of Taylor Griffiths & Matt Jenner—two weirdos who make no apology for it—comes 'Latchkey'; a peep through the keyhole at a distorted character comedy, bursting with tragic sweethearts and lovable creeps.

Taylor’s gift for seeing the beauty in the day-to-day blends with Matt’s fascination with the horrors of modern life in this wildly absurd sketch show. Watch Griffiths breathe life into down-on-their-luck characters and place the joyfully mundane under the microscope whilst Jenner's explosive performance and surreal writing burrows under your skin like a foul splinter.

Matt Jenner is a Melbourne-based writer and performer who has performed to sold out audiences across the world in Chicago (iO), London (Hoopla) and Melbourne (The Improv Conspiracy, Impro Melbourne).

Taylor Griffiths (Soothplayers: Completely Improvised Potter) is a comedian, writer and performer. Coming off the back of her hit solo show ‘No Thoughts’ at the Malthouse Theatre.

Here is what the show is not: The footy.

    Central to this image is a close up of a rotisserie cooked chicken on a white plate with its orange-ish chicken juice pooling underneath it, all on top of a wooden dining table background. A piece of the chicken breast has been ripped off by an unseen person revealing the sinewy white meat within – it doesn't look very appetising. Placed behind and in front of the chicken, slightly out of focus, are side dishes; there are bright green peas, a green bottle of sparkling water, the stem of a wine glass, and then another plate with some salad greens, a red tomato, and what could be the missing piece of chicken breast – a blurry dinner knife is next to this plate. At the bottom of the image there are the edges of two more plates suggesting the table is set for a normal, suburban, family dinner.

    This image shows an older woman sitting in a red chair. She sits side-on. The chair and her body are facing to the left, her hands are resting on her left leg and her head is turned towards the camera. She is wearing a fluffy white sweater, matching sweatpants and white sneakers. On her head is a silver beaded headpiece that hangs like a fringe on her forehead and down to her chin on the sides. The floor is grey carpet and the wall behind her is entirely white pleated curtains.
