About Me

TEN WEST - WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY JON MONASTERO AND STEPHEN SIMON, DIRECTED BY BRYAN COFFEE They’ve received standing ovations in NYC, San Francisco, Marin, Novato, Chicago, Toronto, Portland, Seattle, Bellingham & a multitude of theaters around Los Angeles."Their work is admiringly classic in feel, fun yet sinister, always intimidatingly hilarious, and held in the highest of regard by anyone with a sharp wit and the luck to see them live." - Kevin Chesley of SketchCenter.com.The LA Weekly describes their work as “…goofy, giddy, funny and executed with infectious charm.”Backstage West had this to say, "...the inspired lunatics of the comedy duo Ten West...they make up a perfectly matched team of clowns, anarchists, and pantomimists...highly endearing...all performed with flair and terrific, Saroyanesque charm." -Neal WeaverFor more information, visit: www.tenwest.net
