It's back to Belfast for this episode of DWSC when the well-oiled team did their second live show of the day for the city's Out to Lunch festival.This time, joining them on the force is comedian, Teresa Livingstone whose explosive story at the start of the show, lent a cinematic air to proceedings early on.The team then get involved with a case which will give you nightmares if consumed too close to bedtime - or the cheese sweats at the very least.Then, bringing the show to a close is a member of the audience, who is perhaps the first we've had who brandished a book as a prop and aid to her story - our listeners always go that extra mile....Why not support the Drunk Women on Patreon, where you'll get access to live zoom records, shout outs, ad free content and the occasional extra thing thrown-in!

S1 Ep 234DWSC LIVE: With Lisa McGee

E

This episode was recorded in the beautiful city of Belfast, as the team finally fulfilled their dream to take the show over to Ireland as part of The Out to Lunch Festival.It turns out the Irish make excellent detectives, and this week's guest, TV writer and creator of Derry Girls, Lisa McGee showed early signs of crime solving prowess - and it would appear to run in the family, as you'll hear.After hearing Lisa's amazing story, the team then venture into a case involving perhaps the vainest man in 1800s Norfolk, which is no mean feat, as soap had yet to be invented (citation needed). We then round things off with an astounding story from a member of the audience, which begs the question if sandwiches should be kept in a safe? Why not support the Drunk Women on Patreon, where you'll get access to live zoom records, shout outs, ad free content and the occasional extra thing thrown-in!

S1 Ep 232DWSC LIVE: With Heidi Regan

E

The gang are back on stage in London for their first residency of 2023 in their brand new home of 21Soho!And what a night to remember it was, although if you're this week's guest detective Heidi Regan, you'll probably have to listen back to this to confirm you were there.Heidi started off proceedings by recounting the times her less than sharp powers of recall have aided and abetted criminal activity, almost always to the detriment of those who happen to be out with her.The team, along with the packed-out audience then crack a historical case, which features some names regular listeners will be very familiar with.Finally, we hear from a member of the audience who tells the kind of inflated story which could give you nightmares if you listen before bed... you have been warned.Why not support the Drunk Women on Patreon, where you'll get access to live zoom records, shout outs, ad free content and the occasional extra thing thrown-in!

S1 Ep 231DWSC LIVE: With Kate McCabe

E

Time for part two of the gang's fantastic night at The Lowry in Salford, which was corked in late 2022 and now, finally ready for general consumption -although, no character called General Consumption features in this week's story, we do have a guest of the highest commend in comedian Kate McCabe.Kate kicks-off proceedings with a story that sounds like the beginning of every US teen horror movie but thankfully without the ending.The team then investigates a case which really pushes the coin in terms of believability but will also leave you in a head-spin.Finally, we hear from a member of the audience who either had the best, or worst teachers in the world ... you decide!Why not support the Drunk Women on Patreon, where you'll get access to live zoom records, shout outs, ad free content and the occasional extra thing thrown-in!

E

The gang are in Birmingham this week (well, they were when they recorded the episode, anyway) and joining them in a jolly good time is the brilliant comedian Tej Dhutia!Tej begins proceedings with a criminal tale, which, had she realised was happening earlier could have changed the course of her life ... but only her mother knows the real answer to that question.The team then dissect a true crime case from history that explores the difference between boarding houses and boarding schools, if you could get kicked-out of either for doing some graffiti, or if 'fetch' really could ever happen.And finally, we hear from a member of the audience, with the voice of an angel and the crime story from hell - worth every drop of cava they won for sharing their story with us.Join the Drunk Women for a LIVE ZOOM recording on Thursday 9th February at 8pm GMT - for details of how, just go to patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 227Katie Pritchard's Extensive Knowledge

E

In today's fine episode of DWSC, comedian Katie Pritchard donned her authentic detective's jacket to help us get to the bottom of a true crime, but not before she revealed her own tale of criminal woe, which could have been the time her family was burgled, OR that the fridge freezer was IN HER BEDROOM - you decide.After a hefty discussion on the pros and cons of having white electrical goods in the room where you sleep, the team then solve a historical crime that takes us into the 'spirals of evil' which terrorised the people of Sheffield and that isn't easy to do!We then hear from a listener who may have the perpetrator of their crime living under the same roof... can the drunk detectives get to the bottom of that one?

What a cracking start to 2023, as the Drunk Women unleash part two of their incredible sold-out show in Leeds, when they were joined by the brilliant comedian, Lauren Pattison.Lauren starts-off by telling us about the time the denial of a criminal act could possibly have been the crime itself, before going on to help the rest of the team uncover a story- which although notorious- is much misunderstood. although we do learn that prisons have chefs, oh la la.Finally, we hear an epic tale from a member of the audience, which will make you wish you had a dentist as a friend, if you don't already that is.

It's been another epic DWSC Men's Month, not only because we had five, count them FIVE men grace the show this year, but also because we welcomed some incredible guys and this week's incredible guy is kung-fu king and comedian Ed Byrne!Ed starts us off with some tales of criminal activity that have blighted his life, although it would also appear that he could set-up shop as a swag-bag supplier as a side hustle.The team then head to Tring to solve this week's case - and as we soon learn, nothing good ever happens in Tring!We then hear from a listener who gets some tough love from the team... which is also the name of your sex tape.

Men's Month 2022 marches on and this episode saw podcast royalty being welcomed to the force, when Jamie Morton from the world-wide smash hit show 'My Dad Wrote a Porno' donned his detective hat and agreed to solve some true crime with us.Jamie kicked-off proceedings with a story from his youth which saw a house-hold name come to his rescue, in fact without this sporting legend, Jamie might not have been here to tell this tale at all!The team then digs deep into a case which brings up some interesting questions of logistics in the afterlife and how long it would take before one was just bored of being dead.And all of this also throws-up a fantastic story of what happened when Jamie met Liz Truss - who was at some point in her 44-day stint as British PM when this episode was recorded - the meeting goes pretty much as you would imagine.We then round it all off with a delightful listener crime which will make you want to not only keep your toothbrush in a cupboard, but also under lock and key.As you can hear, the team had tremendous fun recording this episode, so much fun that there was a fun induced 'incident' which had to be edited out, we did however decide to share it on our Patreon, so if your in any way curious, you can sign up for here:  patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

E

Oh la la, the Drunk Women have gone to Paris! Well, they SAW some of Paris from the back of the zoom of this week's fantastic guest, the star of ' Call My Agent', actor, Fanny Sidney! Although this was recorded remotely, the team still got to do this in front of an audience, as they decided to invite their lovely Patreons along for the ride too, with the added treat of the gorgeous Parisian backdrop also providing a contrast to the criminal activity the team discussed. Fanny started-off proceedings with a tale of a scammer who sure knew how to play the long game before the gang discussed a notorious cold case which happened to inspire none-other than Margret Atwood to write a book about it.And, as we were joined by a live audience, it was only right that we should hear from one of them at the end with their own true crime story, and it turns-out the Isle of Wight is a hotbed of criminal pursuits. Hannah was delighted! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week's episode is the final show recorded at the team's sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022, and they went out with a bang as their guest was the wonderful comedian, Rosie Holt!You would have seen Rosie online with her brilliant character parodying a right-wing mouthpiece, well on this show she came along as her delightful self and told us about *some* of the times she's been scammed ... seriously, it's a miracle she's got ANY money left at all.The gang then crack a case of royal proportions, which also happens to be fitting with their location at the time of record and we then hear from a member of the audience who could compare scam notes with Rosie, although they probably shouldn't go into business together.Taylor, Hannah, Catie (and producer Amanda) would like to thank everyone who came to see them at this year's fringe and made it such a special time, they'll be back in Edinburgh in 2023, but in the meantime, you can catch them on tour, details below,And you can also support them on Patreon where you'll find ad free episodes, prior access to some records, invites to live zooms and shout outs! patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

The Drunk Women are still in Edinburgh, if only in podcast form as the penultimate show from their sell-out Edinburgh run hits the airwaves and joining them in this endeavour is actor comedian and writer Rachel Harper!Rachel starts us off with a story that will have you swiping left at both the guys involved.We then hear about a crime from history which shows that blood is definitely thicker than water...or milk in this case, but that you can always trust the women of the family to save the day!We round things off nicely with a crime from a member of the audience, which is possibly a modern Cinderella story, or probably about as far away from a fairy-tale as you can get.

It's another wee dram of Edinburgh gold this week, as we uncork an episode recorded at the Fringe with Scotland's finest, comedian and real life Trump troll, Janey Godley!Janey graces us all with her presence during the sell-out run and kicks things-off with a crime anecdote with an explosive beginning, middle and end.We then all get to hear about a story which should have starred the Culkin brothers and we pity the fool who *didn't* make that film back in the day.Then, we round-off the show with a member of the audience telling us about some criminal activity which he managed to solve without using violence, much to Janey's disappointment.Don't forget, you can support Drunk Women Solving Crime on Patreon and have access to early announcements, extra content, zoom records, ad free episodes, shout outs AND MORE - www.patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

The Drunk Women share the second episode of their 2022 sell-out Edinburgh run and are joined by another corker of a return guest, the legend that is, comedian Lucy Porter! Lucy opens the show by sharing a crime which took place at an Edinburgh Fringe of yesteryear, but perhaps the perpetrator was trying to do her a favour, either way, it's a bloody disgrace! The gang then look into a case from history in which the lead character gets in a bit of a pickle, but do they end-up on the right track? Listen to find out...And to top it off, we hear what has to be the best audience crime EVER ... either that, or it's all part of an elaborate alibi and now we're all implicated! Don't forget, you can support Drunk Women Solving Crime on Patreon and have access to early announcements, extra content, zoom records, ad free episodes, shout outs AND MORE - www.patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

E

Can you believe that it's the 200th episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime? No, neither can Taylor, Hannah and Catie, who thought they'd be in rehab by now, but that just goes to show you what drinking responsibly can achieve...and what better way to celebrate this landmark than to invite historian and presenter Dr Janina Ramirez along for the ride?Janina begins the episode by showing a rather different side to herself than anyone familiar with her documentaries would have seen - and that's not the first time she's shown another side to herself to an unsuspecting crowd, as you'll hear!The team then crack into a case in which something is a foot in the woodshed, but what does Hannah have to do with it all?Then, to finish off, this week's listener crime comes from someone still looking to seek justice after 20 years!

E

The Drunk Women are back in the studio* this week, and joining them is writer, actor and comedian, Brenda Gilhooly!Brenda shows early on that what she may lack in technical skills, she certainly makes-up for in detective smarts, as she tells us about a criminal activity in which she simultaneously becomes participant AND evidence gatherer, listen to find out if the perp was brought to task as a result.The team then pay homage to a young trailblazer of feminism and socialism.... sounds like a recipe for a quiet and stress free life to us!And this week's listener story throws-up the dilemma of a possible Robin Hood scenario … or it might just be a thieving ne'er do well... you decide!*Hannah's sinbin.Don't forget, you can support Drunk Women Solving Crime on Patreon and have access to early announcements, extra content, zoom records, ad free episodes, shout outs AND MORE - www.patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

E

It's another DWSC residency show, where things got raucous and a smashing time was had by all, including this week's hilarious guest, comedian, and Mother Goose, Lucy Pearman! Lucy kicks things off with a childhood reverie of past love from afar, which resulted in a very eggy crime, possibly involving Ben Affleck. We then hear about a case, which comes in a variety of different parts, and shows the police might need to invest in better torches. Finally, as always round things off with an audience member who has a crime to solve - this week, it's a pile of pants. You can also support them on Patreon and get access to live Zoom records, ad-free episodes, shout-outs, and more! - patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

E

Joining the Drunk Women for much merriment and mirth is the incredible actor, writer & podcaster, Rosalind Blessed!In what turns-out to be a very 'second record', we start by hearing from Rosalind about a crime for which she gives us the naked-facts and which also allows her to display a pretty good background in sleuthing - welcome to the force!The whole gang then looks at a case, which not only inspired one of the greatest stories in literature, but also one could argue (if you're Catie), the plot of Jaws!We then hear from a listener about a mystery which could win those involved an Oscar - although probably more worthy of a TV Quick Award if properly examined, either way, it's a proper drama!And check out their Patreon for ad free eps, shout-outs, access to Zoom records and MORE here: patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

Richard, if you're listening (which he surely is), you're welcome!We then hear from a listener who has a crime that inspires a whole thread of nostalgia for our detectives, which probably didn't help to solve the case, but definitely didn't make things worse.And you can support them on Patreon here - patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

It's another rockin' DWSC London residency, and joining Taylor, Hannah & Catie in the mayhem is comedian, writer, and podcaster, Stevie Martin!Stevie begins by telling the sold-out audience about a crime that illustrates how much she wants to see the good in people, or just one person in particular, who she's never met and hopefully never will!The team then gets involved in a case that proves that support is indeed key, even if your mother curses you!We then hear from a member of the audience who recounts a story in which they flip flop from victim to perp back to victim again, and with whom Taylor finds some unusual similarities, it's a lot of fun!
