The Close

Animated sketch show following the residents of a quiet suburban street that quickly becomes a playground for comic mayhem - absurd, awkward and unexpectedly hilarious.

Animated sketch comedy set on a seemingly quiet residential street where the neighbours are all just trying to get through the day without incident. But beneath the calm exterior, everyday life quickly unravels into the absurd, the awkward and the unexpectedly hilarious - from dodging a secret crush to desperately trying to impress the builder. Whether it’s a piano teacher adapting to a four-legged student, a cycling enthusiast battling to stay inside his own outfit or a work-from-home mum constantly thrown off course, life on the street is anything but peaceful.

Blending sharp observational humour with bursts of slapstick chaos, the show transforms suburban routine into a playground of comic mayhem - where absolutely anything can happen.
