About this listen

Welcome aboard Cruising, an uproarious and wildly original comedy that will leave you breathless with laughter and touched to your core.

Max is having a relapse summer. He’s an aspiring playwright and professional pie addict with a PhD in self-sabotage. Stuck in his grim Encino apartment with a leaky ceiling and a declining will to live, he escapes into an intoxicating fantasy cruise ship in his mind that’s full of bottoms and people who are hitting them.

As Max's imagination sets sail, his reality begins to capsize, blurring the lines between truth and fiction in a spectacular collision that forces him to confront the very demons he so desperately wants to outrun.

Written by Emmy nominee Michael Shayan, directed by Tony nominee Robert O’Hara, dazzlingly performed by Christine Baranski, Tituss Burgess, André De Shields, Andrew Rannells, and Cecily Strong, Cruising is a darkly funny, unabashedly sexy exploration of the human spirit, offering listeners a delicious slice of hope.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

The storyline was unexpectedly deep, layered in a way that really pulls you in, while also being absolutely hilarious. What really brought it all together were the voice actors; a performances that made the characters feel so alive. A wild, thoughtful, and thoroughly entertaining ride.
