My overall impression

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 most revered A-list Hollywood actors could take some lessons from these two magical performers who will melt your heart and make you fall in love with them—live on stage—within the first few minutes of their performance. Quite an accomplishment in anyone’s book.

Thank you, Ten West—may everyone in the whole world soon be allowed the privilege of being touched and uplifted by your incredible talent(s).
