Looking for an escape from reality? Then look no further!

Escape from Virtual Island is an epic comedy adventure starring Paul Rudd, written by John Lutz of Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and 30 Rock, and produced by Broadway Video.

Rounding out the ensemble cast in this genre-hopping, madcap comedy are Emmy nominee Jack McBrayer, Wine Country and AP Bio’s Paula Pell, Late Night with Seth Meyers’ Amber Ruffin, and 30 Rock’s Scott Adsit.

The Audible Original also features the voice talents of Jason Sudeikis, Jane Krakowski, Olivia Wilde, Kenan Thompson, Seth Meyers, Rachel Dratch, Henry Winkler, and a host of other comedy favorites.

About the story:

In the year 2038, there’s only one destination that can play host to the world’s wealthiest adventure seekers: the Pengalaman Island Resort and Virtual Reality Theme Park. Located on a private South Pacific island, guests here live out their wildest fantasies in custom-made virtual reality simulations while also enjoying the usual amenities of an exclusive five-star getaway.

All is relatively breezy until famed billionaire and avid guest, Mr. Wagner (Sudeikis), goes missing within a virtual simulation. His only hope? A daring rescue led by Derek Ambrose (Rudd), the maladjusted heir to his mother’s resort empire, and his ragtag search party consisting of Faith (Ruffin), a tech-nerd extraordinaire (and naturally, his ex); Ramona Kurtz (Pell), the foul-mouthed head of island security; and Beasley (McBrayer), the resort’s lead concierge and Ambrose family confidant.

What ensues is a high-octane, comedy throwback filled with memorable performances throughout, and a reminder that real life can be the ultimate experience if you’re just willing to open your heart and dive in headfirst.

Amazing Cast, Hilarious Story

This was such a fun and exciting Audible Original! Took so many twists and turns - like a action comedy movie for your ears. The cast was phenomenal and the production quality was A++!

Love It!!

Dear Audible:

More star-studded comedy audio series like this, please! This was so much fun. Jack McBrayer is always the best, and so is Paul Rudd. We need more comedy series like these if we're going to survive quarantine.

A great listen!!

Got it because i am a huge Paul Rudd fan, but this book was so entertaining.

not your standard read a book word by word

Great for staying engaged and following a story without sacrificing the authors visual point of views

Good listen but...

It got a bit too predictable and repetitive. The play on words did make me laugh quite a few times.

A Bisexual 51 Year Old's Classic!

If we were to try and lives our lives the way Paula Pell delivers every line, the world would be a better place.

Funny Escapism

I recommend this book to those that enjoy silly humor and/or audio shows.

This book has a solid flow that is broken up into rough episodes. Each episode feels different and entertaining, with the humor being adult but not obscene. Each character does a great job of playing off one another, with the voice actors adding even further depth.

The story is the perfect length and perfect pacing throughout and will leave you with a satisfied feeling. So go ahead, get this one if it interests you.

Excellent Performance!

Jack McBrayer fans will not be disappointed. Great audio drama, it does get long/repetitive in the middle. Overall, it provides plenty of chuckles.

Fantastically Funny!

I thoroughly enjoyed this - it was fun and funny. The cast performed it so well! Definitely an adult story but worth your time. Enjoy!

Delightful

I don't listen to a lot of fiction, but this was delightful. So funny. I don't think it's the kind of thing I would listen to twice, but I finished it in one sitting.
