About this listen
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.
Please note: This content is not for kids. It is for mature audiences only. This audio comedy features adult language, sexual content, and virtually every innuendo you can literally imagine. Discretion is advised.

I really wanted this to work
At the outset, let me say that I did not, could not finish this audiobook. I wanted so much to like it but found that the writing never hit the mark. The zingy one liners and quirky characters that made 30 Rock hilarious failed to eventuate. Instead of being naturally funny it had the, “look at me I’m being humorous”, quality about it. I found this tedious and it is the reason I stopped listening.

LOL so much
After listening on earbuds for 10 minutes, had to take them off so others could hear because I laughed too much. Excellently preformed, didn't even miss the visuals. (High content of swearing on explicit topics)

Quirky
Quirky, light, easy listening. A bit fun never hurt anyone. Not something I would normally listen to, but glad I did.

Oyyyy
Well, what canI say here?
Other than I'm glad it was included in Audible plus, yeah, not too much.
With such a stellar cast, this should have been amazing. But ooooy.
The cast is the only readon I listened to the whole thing. Like, what did I even really listen to? Though I will never get the sounds of people drinking water out of my mind, yick!
The one liners (if you can call them that) fell flat. It was supposed to be humorour, but it wasn't.
I did listen to it all, but was constantly looking at how long I had left.
