Drunk Women Solving Crime

Yes, that's right, Taylor, Catie and Hannah have gotten drunk at least ONE HUNDRED times (there were a few practice runs), all in the name of solving crime.... well, mostly in the name of solving crime.The gang have had some exemplary company along the way and this week their 100th guest-sleuth is none other than film star, talk show host & documentary maker - Ricki Lake!Ricki shows dedication to the force by indulging in some day-time drinking on account of appearing from a different time zone (as if by magic) and sharing the story of the time she ended up behind bars - who knew?!The team then get down to solving a case about a perp talented at creating some pretty cool pseudonyms, and discover that detective Lake is more than an asset to the force - they don't call her 'One-Take-Lake' for nothing - as you'll find out.So pop a cork and join in with this centenary episode, thanks SO much for being with us for the last one hundred shows, here's to the next one hundred!

Hooray, the Drunk Women continue to entertain themselves AND us through these socially distant times by welcoming a guest to help solve a crime, whilst getting responsibly sozzled!In today's episode, the gang are joined by comedian Esther Manito, whose suspicion of children on the crime scene could have been a direct result of her younger years... although we're not sure Oliver Twist would have walked backwards into the cinema...She proves invaluable however in today's main case which seems to play-up to the stereotype of students being big stoners, but probably not in the way YOU'RE thinking.There's also a royal connection and an unearthed mystery which could well reveal itself at the next coronation.Plus: a listener crime which proves a vacuum can be a deadly weapon.Heads-up: Get ready to pop the prosecco with the Drunk Women & VERY special guest next week for their ONE HUNDREDTH episode!   Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, the gang dissect (!) the story of someone who wasn't actually breaking any laws at the time, but whose practices would certainly raise a few eyebrows if attempted today .. in more ways than one.It's a gripping tale, but probably not the best accompaniment to a plate of spaghetti - unless you happen to be this week's guest, comedy writer, Christine Robertson - who relished in her role as amature sleuth. Christine starts proceedings by sharing with us an occasion where she and her whole school class were victim to the same crime, and it may (or may not) confirm a stereotype of the perpetrators of a certain act... or maybe it's just a cry for help? To get the FULL DWSC experience this week, why not try Christine's own cocktail recipe of alternating between Aperol Spritz & yesterday's prosecco ... don't knock it till you've tried it!  Hosted on Acast.

We all know that crime busting and the medical profession go hand-in-hand, after-all where would Holmes be without his Dr Watson?The cop in Diagnosis Murder wouldn't solve ANYTHING without his dad, Dr Dick Van-Dyke and don't get me STARTED on Quincy!Well, this week's episode of DWSC sees our sloshed sleuths welcome their very own Watson in the form of (non-drunken) Doctor Nidhi Gupta to the force.Nidhi is a film maker and writer and took the unexpected step of returning to front line medicine to work on the Covid 19 wards - contracting the virus herself whilst saving the lives of others. It was during this time that she became victim of perhaps the most cowardly crime EVER committed, as you'll hear for yourself.Our doctor / detective team then go-on to solve a crime which ends-up implicating those at the very top of society...it's a scenario which wouldn't look too out of place today.Talking about history repeating itself, Nidhi also talks about her amazing crowd fund project to make a film about how we can learn from past catastrophes, look here for more info:-greenlit.fund/project/start-stop-repeat Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode, the team go stateside for their latest recruit: comedian Fortune Feimster!. Fortune brings some serious insight to a crime which would have lesser detectives well and truly stumped. The gang discuss the different ways a crime can be committed in a plane, how long it's acceptable to hide in the toilets to get a break from your kids, and how many typists is acceptable to have with you whilst travelling. Fortune shares a crime which most people wouldn't be a victim of after the year 2008, as well as accidentally blowing a listener's alibi wide open.

It's another day in lockdown, but that's not gonna stop The Drunk Women from smashing a case, whilst getting smashed over Zoom. Joining them this week is bestselling author Jane Fallon, who despite not showing early promise as a reliable witness, certainly went on to prove her sleuthing-smarts, as she provides the kind of observations worthy of someone at the top of the force. This week's case involves a 'power couple' of crime and although Jane wouldn't notice them actually committing a felony, she'd certainly be able to spot them in a line up. The team then go on to hear about a listener crime which also displays some pretty stunning (if rather dangerous) crime solving skills! Who says you can't bring your A-game whilst drinking?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, journalist Jo Elvin brings something to this case that no other guest could. It's taken many attempts to get Jo on the show and if one of the other occasions had worked-out, this fantastic coincidence would have never come into being; to find out just how she's connected to a bank robbery in 1950s Sydney, you'll have to listen! Jo also tells us about the time an altercation with a woman who could be The Queen still keeps her awake at night, and the team also solve a listener mystery which proves that there's always an 'evil' twin.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The virtual fun continues this week, as the team welcome comedian and unreliable witness, Jo Caulfield to help solve a historical crime from the archives.Jo proves she's no stranger to getting justice served to those who do wrong, but she may have inadvertently had Danny DeVito arrested by mistake...But her knowledge of the inner workings of the church prove invaluable in this week's story of self-appointed sainthood and psychopathy... so just a normal day in lock-down for our swigging detectives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's episode, Catie, Hannah and Taylor welcome a very special detective to the force, who turned up in her dressing gown, notebook in hand and rocked the investigation - it's presenter and author, Fern Britton! As well as having the grey matter to solve the case and proving time and again that she's a step ahead of the game, she also spills the beans about the time she was duped by tricksters LIVE on TV! We then get to investigate a crime with a myriad of suspects - all from the same tight-knit family, which also includes some dubious medical advice .... should you be prescribed whisky for a liver complaint? Unless you're taking notes a la Fern, you're not taking this seriously enough! The gang also make light work of cracking this week's listener crime ...who says alcohol dulls the senses Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode the Drunk Women are joined by comedy writer Tasha Dhanraj, who opens the show with a story of the time where she may, or may not have been kidnapped...it's open to interpretation.The gang then get their teeth into a case, which they really manage to flesh-out details such as; how calorific is human 'meat'?Luckily for our hosts though, detective Tasha turned-out to be somewhat of an expert in the subject of cannibalism...should we be afraid? As Taylor points-out, we're going to be afraid of EVERYONE at some point in this case. Bon appétit!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just because we're still in lock-down at the time of record, it doesn't mean historical crimes should go unsolved by drunk women!And so Hannah, Catie and Taylor bravely grab a bottle and get started on a crime which encapsulates drugs, alcohol, adultery and a false accusation - seems like a pretty standard evening in to us.Joining them in their quest to get to the bottom of it all (crime AND bottle) is comedian Desiree Burch, who starts things-off by re-accounting the time she encountered a total jerk during rush hour.Then, during the gang's dissection of the main story, several key questions came to the fore...Are the US really king of the armchairs? Is an affair worse than indulging in opium and orgies? And do all roads ultimately lead to Bournemouth?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, eSports presenter Frankie Ward jumps on the conference call to flex her sleuthing guns. She shares the time she was recipient of a birthday crime; which is bad enough in itself, but you could argue the real crime occurred 6 months later, thanks to an aspiring clown.Speaking of circuses, this week's main crime is a riot of political espionage, assassination and some stunning last words...oh and Catie does a rap, which she can TOTALLY pull off.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Drunk Women are back with an epic ride of a story which takes-in a landscape ranging from incompetent intruders, to prohibition, with adventures across land and sea and a debate on whether turning a women upside down and shaking her is less humane if she's of retirement age...I mean it probably is, but we'll let you decide for yourself.Helping to make all of this happen is comedian Laura Lexx who recounts a tale from her youth involving the most time efficient flasher in history! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime is an education in SO many ways...we find out that Guernsey produces a very, very special type of rum, that almost every adult male who visited Madame Tussaud's during the early 2000s probably has a photo of themselves being inappropriate with the Kylie waxwork, and that this week's guest, the hilarious Lizzie Roper REALLY knows how to enjoy herself in a reclining chair!The gang then dive into a crime from history which inspired one of the greatest fictional sleuths of all time and shows that no good ever came of a trip to the woods... to find out more check out Daniel Smith’s book- https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/The-Ardlamont-Mystery-by-Daniel-Smith-author/9781782438458 Hosted on Acast.

Coming to you straight outta quarantine, our plucky detectives embrace the technology (and drinking alone) enabling us to engage in some sleuthing - lockdown style. Joining them, from the safety of her own home is comedian, writer, actor & improviser, Ruth Bratt!Ruth shares a crime which shows an auspicious start to her career. The gang then look at a crime in which the main perpetrator was perhaps slightly disillusioned with their own talents ...which ultimately leads them down a dishonest path. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the first episode in the 'brave new world' of recording, as the Drunk Women get their tech savvy nieces & nephews to hook them up to some super smart conferencing software, so the gang can continue to solve crimes whilst drinking in the comfort of their own homes. There are lots of amazing guests booked in over the coming weeks, but the feeling at Drunk Women Towers was to kick this temporary style of recording off with just Catie, Taylor & Hannah, so we can all get used to it together. This means we get the added treat of hearing from each of our hosts when THEY'VE been the victim of a crime, proving that crimes even happen to top detectives!We then get into a case, which you'd need to get up early in the morning to solve ... dawn to be precise (that will be funny once you've listened to the episode).  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the final 'throwback' edition, the Drunk Women were joined by Canadian writer and comic, Monica Heisey. Monica bookends this episode beautifully with two occasions she was the victim of a crime - and she's probably the MOST empathetic 'victim' to have ever featured on the show.The gang then explore the murky world of 'Spring-Heeled Jack' whose baffling method of abusing his victims prompts many an interesting theory from the drunken detectives.We also find out that Hannah's family opt for a rather unorthodox parlour game on Christmas Day...Although the Drunk Women won't be together for a little while, episodes will be continuing and some fantastic guests have agreed to join-in on the drunkest, most crimey video conferencing to occur during the time of self-isolation.Stay safe and see you next week!

Hello to all of our socially distancing / self isolating friends! The Drunk Women are still digging-deep into their well of episodes which were recorded whilst drinking in the same room was still a regular occurrence.Joining them (in the flesh) is hilarious, New York based comic Liz Miele, who dropped-in whilst she was over in London, touring her show a few weeks ago.Liz shares a crime, which could only have been committed in the 21st century and will probably make you want to upgrade your computer firewall.The group then prove that you don't need to be a sports -fan (or have ANY sports based knowledge) to be able to solve a crime which shook the world of a particular sporting tournament. ...and there's a surprising hero in the story, who turned out to be a very good boy! We'll be back with another episode next Wednesday. In the meantime, we hope everyone out there is safe and well at this very strange time. All our love, The Drunk Women Xx. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You may be aware that this episode was recorded in an era when we could all get drunk in the same room, rather than over Skype; so let yourself be transported to the time when writer, director & comedian Charlie Dinkin dropped into Drunk Women Towers to share some booze, solve a crime and sit within two meters of Hannah, Catie & Taylor.Today we hear a story of a robbery taking place ON A PLANE and solve a case involving a murderer who manages to keep a saintly image - despite the fact that anyone close to her comes to a sticky end - and we also find out that 'mouse butter' was a 'thing' back in the day...We then round it all-off with a listener crime involving a fancy car and a drug cartel... standard stuff.As a side-note, thanks to the wonders of technology, episodes will continue to to go ahead from respective isolations once the studio records have all been released... we thought it best not to isolate together, no one's liver would be able to survive that!Sending all of our lovely listeners (and non-listeners) much love and strength at this odd time.The Drunk Women team Xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Back in the days when everyone could shake-hands and sit in the same room as each other, lovely actor, podcaster and comedian Margret Caborn-Smith dropped into Drunk Women Towers and told some disturbing tales of 'crime-negging' which have befallen her AND some of her friends.The team then look into a case of plagiarism which implicates one of the pioneering characters of the silver screen, whist along the way, we hear about some strange crushes held by our drunk detectives, including a fictional anthropomorphised car ...The gang then attempt to solve a crime from a listener, who needs help after someone taught their son some rather inappropriate language...

The Drunk Women love being able to spend International Women's Day together and so decided to do a live show as part of the Vaults Festival, also raising money for child.org and joining them to do all of this was actor, comedian and writer, Andi Osho!Andi's own crime story could have easily been a plot in a James Bond novel and showed that most villains would have to get up early to have one over on her, which she also went on to demonstrate when Hannah presented a case involving a woman who inspired celebrity status for her confidence tricks - which are truly awe inspiring.The evening was rounded-off nicely by an audience member sharing a mystery of a missing engagement ring.... which actually could still be in her bag to be fair. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The team very much broke dry January in style (spoiler - this was recorded in February 2020) when they got together to pop some corks and crack a crime or two!Joining them is comedy writer Sarah Morgan, who came armed with some fake Chambord and tale of the time she fell foul of a scam particularly popular on London's Oxford Street.We then get to the bottom of a 'merciless bludgeoning' which may, or may not have been connected to a bad debt and also may be providing a glimpse into life post Brexit.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's episode, the Chardonnay flows as the gang come to some heady conclusions regarding a crime of nuclear proportions and helping them out with some amazingly astute observations is psychotherapist and author, Philippa Perry!Philippa begins proceedings by sharing an infuriating miscarriage of justice by her local council, which she actually says is more upsetting than the time she was mugged! And of course there's a listener crime which actually gets solved ... probably Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode welcomes comedy director & producer Saima Ferdows to our ever expanding force and what an asset she is.We start by hearing about a crime committed against Saima which could unleash a podcast called 'Drunk Women COMMITTING Crime'. It's then of course time to get into the work of a ne'er-do-well from history, in this instance the criminal attempted a confidence trick of royal proportions, hitting the victim in more than just The Crown Jewels - despite some abysmal planning skills.The gang then solve a crime sent in by a listener, for which both Saima and Hannah can offer some empathy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Drunk Women welcome comedian, writer and broadcaster Iszi Lawrence to the force this week and what a stroke of luck that she happens to be a natural detective .. even after a carafe of vino. In this episode, the team delve into a case which sees a daughter take some pretty gruesome revenge for her dad's rather gruesome end (although did he not bring that on himself?) and we learn once and for all, that history is 'really much worse than you can imagine'... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joining The Drunk Women this week, is Maria Shehata who has a no-nonsense attitude when it comes to mathematical questions. Before the gang dissect a crime of the spirit kind, they hear about Maria's encounters with crime whilst she was a resident of New York City .We also get to hear a listener crime, which probably won't affect any cars manufactured in this millennium. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, The Drunk Women are joined by a lady who has been writing TV crime drama for so long, she's sure to help us get into the mind of any perpetrator - it's screenwriter and super sleuth, Sally Abbott!Sally talks us through some of the crimes which have coincided with key moments in her life AND tells us about some techniques used to get prisoners to feel empathy for their victims - fascinating stuff.The gang then hear about a woman who would no doubt have a huge Insta following today, as she peddled a detox regimen - which had deadly results.This week's listener crime sounds like a very narrow escape for one savvy lady, and her knowledge of what kind of shovel is used for clearing snow may well have saved her life! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Drunk Women are back in the studio, which can only mean ONE thing - unlimited time for drinking and solving crimes!This very well may be a second record, but we'll let you decide ....Joining the force this week is actor, writer and all-round bad-ass Megan Prescott, who proves that one word from her can reduce those who commit the crime (and it is a crime) of street harassment to a gibbering wreck.Our drunk detectives then grapple with the murder of one of the 20th century's most notorious characters - who had some of the spookiest last words ever recorded - before helping a listener get to the bottom of who might have burgled her whilst she was breast feeding?! On that last matter, we're not sure they helped - but they definitely didn't make things worse. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The gang are hanging around The Salford Lowry for the second week running, as the good people of Manchester still need them to solve some crime and drink prosecco (it's usually prosecco); and this week there's even more booze for them, as guest detective, comedian Katie Mulgrew was pregnant at the time of record, so stuck to cola and Milky Bar Buttons to keep her analytical skills sharp.Although she's off the sauce just now, Katie told us about the time a burglary happened right under her nose after a particularly boozy night out and then the team put their wits to good use, when they get to the bottom of a case involving a bisexual, opera singing, sword fighter - now THAT'S extra curricular. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Drunk Women are BACK and leaving Dry January for someone else to do; after all there's crimes that need solving and they ain't about to do that sober!This episode was recorded at the fantastic Salford Lowry and the equally fantastic comedian, Lou Conran came along for the ride, proving herself an able member of the force (she pre-loaded with a bottle of prosecco).Lou kicked things off and detailed the time she was the victim of a theft, a story with a cast of thousands - including a famous actor.The team solve a case and uncover what has to be the inspiration for the character of Spiderman (probably) and an audience member shares perhaps the most bizarre crime, in which she is an actual suspect - did she do it? Listen to find out.... oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

He's been - and left you all something rather special in your Christmas stockings.As it's Christmas Day, our drunk detectives are taking a well earned break from sleuthing (but not from the boozing of course), but these podcasting queens have left you a Christmas message for the whole family to gather round and listen to.So throw another log in the fire, grab a bottle of Creme-De- Menthe and enjoy!The Drunk Women will return on Wednesday 8th January, in the meantime, why not re-live some past episodes and leave a review for the gang to read?HAPPY CHRISTMAS - See you in 2020!

IT'S CHRISSSSSTMAASSSSS! So what better way to get in the festive spirit than joining the Drunk Women and comedian Rachel Parris for a night of fizz and true-crime-frolics in London's glittering Leicester Square Theatre!The team also grapple with the theft of a diamond bigger than a Christmas bauble and linked to one of the world's biggest film stars.Rachel reveals that she's a magnet for anyone wanting to steal a musical instrument and we hear from audience member (and birthday girl ) Laura who is perplexed at the theft of a wicker crate .... no really.The Drunk Women are taking a break over the festive season (to hone their drinking skills) and will be back to ruin Dry January on 8th January 2020, until then we'd like to thank all our amazing listeners for a wonderful 2019 and wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and New Year.See you in 2020!Cheers ears!

The Drunk Women once again took to the stage of the Soho Theatre and thought they'd invite comedian and fruit enthusiast Olga Koch along for the ride. This show has it all; strippers, a heckler, a case involving poisoning, a missing leg and possibly the sexiest of all crimes ... insurance fraud.Plus, as always we hear from a member of the audience who need the help of our tipsy detectives to get some closure from a crime they've been the victim of and so we hear from Becky, who is the repeated victim of crime at family functions.Plus you can find out what Olga is up to by checking-out www.rocknrolga.com Hosted on Acast.

Although at the time of release we're all gearing-up for Christmas, the team at Drunk Women Towers invite you to cast your minds back to Halloween 2019 when our tipsy trio boarded the ghost train to foggy Corsham so they could bring Drunk Women Solving Crime to the West Country.You just need to know that because they all talk about being dressed up at the start, but other than that it could be any drunken evening, as the team dive into the life of a confidence trickster whose story became a blockbusting film... don't try to guess what the film is at this stage, because it's really annoying - all will be revealed.As usual they enlist the help of a star super-sleuth and so the wonderful actor, writer and right good laff Kerry Howard engaged her little grey cells and pretty much solved it (along with a woman in the audience who clearly LOVES the film of the story).Huge thanks to all at the Pound Arts Centre, Corsham for supplying a fine wine cellar and for their hospitality.Don't forget to check drunkwomensolvingcrime.com for show listings (some in Spring 2020 to be announced) and for exclusive Drunk Women Solving Crime merch!

As 'Men's Month' draws to a close, the Drunk Women are joined by the man to end all men - the one and only Joe Lycett!He came armed with a bottle of bio-dynamic red and a curious mind to help the gang solve a case in which the perpetrator set pulses racing - and not thanks to his criminal tendencies... goodness knows what Joe's Fitbit will make of all this.The team then get stuck in to a listener's tale of woe and attempt to bring a housemate's despicable behaviour to justice; I'm not sure they helped, but they didn't make it worse.Our thanks to all the fine men who have joined us over the last 4 weeks, back to normal next week with an all 'female workplace' (FEMALE WORKPLACE MERCH NOW AVAILABLE AT https://drunkwomensolvingcrime.teemill.com/) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As men's month marches on apace, the Drunk Women are joined by comedian Phil Wang to help them get to the bottom of a case. Of beer. And some crime, too.The gang analyse the story of two women who not only had a thirst for gin, but for murder, and inspired a famous musical and film. Before all that though, Phil beguiles the group with not one, but two tales of crime victimhood and shows he's a VERY forgiving friend. Then, as usual the team round things off by helping a listener with their own true crime, which in this instance would go well with some mint sauce.    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's week two of 'Men's Month' and so the Drunk Women invited presenter, writer and all-round brain-box Richard Osman to join the force and put those little grey cells to good use.Richard (or Detective Loophole as he shall now always be known) enlisted the others to get to the bottom of who's quite literally trashing him every week, before getting stuck in to a case which coined a famous psychological term - oh and one of the perpetrators is total eye candy, so make sure you check out our Twitter for the evidence @drunkwomenpod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After 14 months of exclusively letting women flex their drunk detective skills, the ladies thought they'd honour International Men's Day on 19th November the only way they know how...by inviting four men round throughout the month and plying them with hard booze in order to solve a past crime.First off we have comedian James Acaster, who came laden with a 'great' cocktail recipe and a request for Tia Maria, vodka and stout... here ladies and gentlemen for your listening pleasure, is the result of that union.James kicks things off by telling a story that confirms he's more than qualified to join the force, after starting early in life at the detecting game. The gang then attempt to get to the bottom of a crime involving an unconfirmed spiritual possession (whilst in possession of some spirits of their own). They then set about cracking a listener case, with a slightly inaccurate method of proving if someone may or may not be guilty, usually reserved for the kangaroo court of the playground. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What could be more on-brand for the Drunk Women than a late night drinking session in Soho? Not much, so the gang congregated at Soho Theatre to solve a crime which involved over 600 wives poisoning their husbands.For the first time ever they were joined by TWO GUESTS, when crime fighting duo Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn - otherwise known as The Scummy Mummies - came to help get to the bottom of the cold case and to share the time they almost collectively fell victim to a crime in front of a sellout audience!Plus, the audience crime is provided by friend of the show, Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan - who despite her fame and fortune is most definitely still 'Jenny From The Block' ... as you will hear. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode sees the Drunk Women back in the studio, with a crate of prosecco and a crime to solve, so they decided to call on a lady who creates crime in her brain for the entertainment of others - best selling crime writer, Martina Cole!Martina kicks things off with a petty crime committed in her youth, which lead to a VERY public punishment and then lends her considerable crime smarts to help get to the bottom of a case in which was possibly caused by religious fervour, or just an extremely bad father/ship. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if The Drunk Women came together with top-pod The Guilty Feminist and mashed-the-hell out of their formats, dropping a (slightly depressing) drinks trolley into the mix?Well wonder no more, as thanks to the brilliant Deborah Frances-White, this actually happened and you can now hear the result.Not only do you get some classic Guilty Feminist AND Drunk Women Solving Crime gold, but special guest Sindhu Vee lends her super sleuthing and stand-up skills to proceedings.As the gang drink the trolley dry, they get to the bottom of the case of the notorious Ma Barker in front of a sold-out theatre - and let's just say that Guilty Feminist audiences got to see their host in a completely different light! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode has more than a whiff of summer about it, as it was recorded one balmy July evening during the Ventnor Fringe, which prompted comedian Andrea Hubert to get on a ferry to help solve a crime - and confess to one of her own, which resulted in a ASBO.The gang pop a few proseccos and then dissect the misdemeanours of the leaders of a so-called religious cult in Mexico.And this week's audience crime is provided by someone very familiar to one member of the group, although it doesn't sound like they need any help in solving crimes! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this final outing of the Edinburgh Fringe, the Drunk Women welcome the amazing Zoe Lyons to the force. The squiffy foursome then dig into a case involving an unsolved murder, the clergy, and perhaps the biggest pre 21st Century media circus of all-time.But before all of that Zoe recounts the time she was the victim of a fruit-based crime, and as per usual the Edinburgh crowd don't disappoint, as audience member James tells us about a burglary which resulted in the most depressing swag ever stolen.

On a wet August day in Edinburgh, hijinks ensued when the Drunk Women gathered in front of a well-oiled crowd to crack another case. They were joined by comedian and Saturday Night Live writer Anna Drezen, who shared the time she was the victim of identity theft before the women get to the bottom of a murder case in which the perpetrator was SO hot, they cast a spell over anyone supposed to bring them to justice. And one member of the audience really earns their DWSC umbrella, when they share an X-rated crime which produces more questions than answers. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode from the Drunk Women's run at the Edinburgh Fringe, the brilliant Isma Almas joined them to dissect a cold case, which took place north of the border.

After last week's break by the seaside, this episode sees the Drunk Women back in the rainy cobbles of the Edinburgh Fringe, where they were joined by comic and barefoot enigma Steph Tisdell of the Aboriginal Comedy Allstars. Steph kicks us off with a tale of some pretty audacious catfishing and the crew put their heads together to deconstruct the complicated life of a drug lord.As ever they round things off with a tale of crime woe from a listener, who then gets a DWSC umbrella, making it all worth it.To catch up on what the wonderful Steph Tisdell is doing next visit: stephtisdellcomedy.com Hosted on Acast.

Like a fine wine, this episode was bottled back in the heady days of summer, when the gang took a suitcase of prosecco aboard the ferry and found themselves on the sunny Isle of Wight, during the Ventnor Fringe Festival in order to solve a case which could mean espionage has reached the land across the Solent.

As the Drunk Women carry on through their sloshed-sleuthing odyssey of the Edinburgh Fringe, they brought in comic, podcaster and ex-lawyer Alice Fraser to bring her legal experience to proceedings.Alice shares the time sheer bravado let her escape being mugged in New York, the gang get to the bottom of a case which is the very definition of 'cold' (it happened in the snow), and a member of the sold-out audience was brave enough to come up and earn his 'Drunk Women' umbrella by sharing his own crime story - although you could argue that the gentleman’s brother ended up the real victim.
