About This Audible Original
Welcome to a tale of love, adventure, and organ theft.
In this charming, scripted audio crime comedy, Samantha Dugan (D’Arcy Carden) and Abe Lally (Sam Richardson) are best friends and partners in crime. They steal kidneys. Like all jobs, it’s complicated. Despite being Robin Hoods of organ thievery, Abe and Samantha are just the sweetest people.
Samantha, a professional con artist, uses her charms to steal kidneys from bad people and get them to good ones. Abe, Sam’s surgeon-in-crime on their illicit kidney theft operation, is using unfettered access to the human body to advance his research to cure diabetes. This gig is hell on their social lives.
This hilarious and twisted Audible Original tale features just about everything you could hope for: crime, punishment, law, order, love, romance, air travel, Ed Begley Jr., and a quinceañera.
Cut and Run, a star-studded scripted audio performance, boasts the talents of Meg Ryan (You’ve Got Mail) as The Narrator; Sam Richardson (VEEP) as Abe Lally; and D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place) as Samantha Dugan—plus the aforementioned Ed Begley, Jr. (Arrested Development) as Gordon Grimbsy, the amiable crime boss; Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) as Katie Reynolds, Abe’s girlfriend and best selling children’s book author; and Thomas Lennon (Reno 911) as Jeff Calvert, an FBI agent and unwitting organ donor. This Audible Original also features Eugene Cordero, Baron Vaughn, Carlos Alazraqui, Arturo del Puerto, Dustin Ybarra, Aaron Abrams, Ginger Gonzaga, Greg Santos, Oscar Montoya, Roberta Valderrama, and Shulie Cowen.
"Dynamite Lady," an original song, was written and performed by Aimee Mann and Ted Leo.
Cut and Run was written and co-produced by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, the inventors of the first narrative fiction podcast, The Thrilling Adventure Hour.

This was the first book completed for #Scarathlon. Had actually been on my TBR for a while. Fun, short, and unhinged and narrated by a full cast including Meg Ryan. #BatBrigade #AutumnPlease #Secrets #Blood #LittenListen #31by31 #BookSpinBingo #20in4 #Spookoween #Rushathon

Hilarious!!! I enjoyed this so much, I wish it were a full length novel. Meg Ryan as the narrator is genius, as are the other voice actors! Book #2 in 2022

I'm feeling very lucky. It's snowing (PLEASE put out the fires! 🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏) and I'm snuggly warm inside with chili simmering for dinner and my audiobooks and my stitching to while away the day. 😊
This audiobook was hilarious btw! Loved the story and the full cast.

This audiobook is appropriately self-described as a lighthearted dark comedy. It is about a doctor who steals kidneys. I wasn‘t too sure about this at first, but it grew on me and you the end I enjoyed it.

I LOVED this audible original. It went by entirely too fast and made my commute seem short. The storyline and narration are both great. I would highly recommend.
