ALEXIS JONES uncertified reviewer June 24, 2011
Ineffable was the first Ten West experience that I've had and I was absolutly delighted! These two make physical comedy look effortless. Through thier comedy they are able to poke fun at today's ridiculous need to document every monemt of life, including death. This show is poignant, sweet, and hilarious. Go see this show!... full review

Extremely clever with touches of pathos- the interaction between Jon and Stephen - and the audience is very engaging - very funny !... full review
JONELLA ALLEN uncertified reviewer June 25, 2011
I had no idea what I was in for in this performance. A play about death could take many forms and Ineffable delivered with grace of movement and a comic flare that quite literally draws the audience onto the stage. Each gesture was precise and their facial expressions yielded more than words could possibly convey. What a wonderful show!... full review
SHANE AUGUST uncertified reviewer June 26, 2011
Comedy takes on so many forms and most people in today's world seem to require very hard and heavily scripted comic material in movies or on TV in order to get a rise out of them. It's rare to find the very sublime and subtle brand of comedy that demands the audience to tap into their deepest sensitivities and actually pay attention to every nuance--especially when dialogue and sounds are at a minimum, as is the case with "Ineffable." Jon and Stephen of Ten West are masters of this subtle and rare artistic form of true comedy and the ease with which they execute this mastery reminded me of some of Charlie Chaplin's best work. The control, wit and joy with which they commanded the audience was at the very least, awe inspiring. Even the... full review

Ineffable is a stand out in the 2011 Fringe Festival. Clown duo Jon Monastero & Stephen Simon (also known as Ten West) take you on a hilarious journey through River Styx. If you are scared or skeptical about clowns then I especially urge you to check out this show. You will spend the entire hour delighted and belly laughing as these two dance, romance & cavort themselves into your hearts. Monastero & Simons are a pair of contemporary vaudevillians who under the direction of Bryan Coffee pack a smorgasbord of entertainment into an hour. If you are looking to recharge yourself from the harshness of Hollywood- Ineffable provides you escape into the highly creative imaginations of Ten West. Perhaps the best way to describe Ineffable comes f... full review

Moving, funny, poignant and thoroughly entertaining. Made me think alot about the way society views death, and how we all choose to deal with it. No review can adequately express the sheer magnificence of this production. This is definitely a show that must be experienced personally in order to fully grasp the impact it leaves on the audience. Two thumbs and 8 fingers up - way up!... full review
KIMLEIGH SMITH certified reviewer June 20, 2011
All I can say is WOW! Speechless...but I will try to pull the words out of me to give this review, as this show is a true gift and these two will steal your heart...really steal it! I am bitten by the power of their movement and expression and story! To see these men open their hearts and dive into our minds is breathtaking! You can not miss this show...really or you will be so terribly mad at yourself! I am in awe of all that they do and now I am a totaly groupy, but a groupy with nothing but love for Ten West! I can not wait for the next time I am able to go on a journey with them! I am buckled in and ready for the ride of my life! ... full review

Incredible show with two incredible clowns. Saw these guys last year at the Fringe and knew to come back for this one. Starting with a theme on 'Death' these guys manage to take every audience member with them on their journey... A must-see. Brilliant and very funny!!... full review
