TEN
WEST is the Los Angeles-based comedy duo
of Jon Monastero & Stephen Simon, directed by Bryan
Coffee. With a unique theatrical style of comedy inspired by clowning, vaudeville,
and Commedia dell'Arte, the pair have received standing ovations and critical
acclaim around the nation and Canada. Ten West is two-man comedy at its most
inventive.
The L.A. Weekly
gave their most recent production, Nights Errant, a "GO!"
Pick and wrote "The two-man clown show is a wacky Dadaist
trip.... all very goofy, giddy, funny and executed with infectious
charm."
Backstage West
gave it a Critic's Pick and wrote, "...inspired
lunatics...absurd practical jokes, wild improvisations, comic deceptions and
farcical battles of will...highly endearing...performed with flair and
terrific, Saroyanesque charm."
The duo continues to play
to critical and audience acclaim around the country.
