S1 Ep 61DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: Andrea Hubert

S1 Ep 45DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: With Thanyia Moore

S1 Ep 41Anna Ptaszynski, The Sodder Children & Bank Heist Of Maida Vale

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 40Amanda Abbington & A Crime Encounter Of The Third Kind
EIn this week's episode, actor and all-round delight Amanda Abbington joined the force to get some crimes solved, drunken style. Amanda's own story takes place in the most glamorous setting yet: if (like the rest of us), you thought The Emmys would be a crime-free zone, then think again.The gang manage to solve a crime which can only be described as 'out of this world' and a listener gets in touch with a mystery which leaves everyone slightly shaken.

S1 Ep 39DRUNK WOMEN LIVE - With Shaparak Khorsandi
EThis live episode sees guest Shaparak Khorsandi break a personal booze-ban in spectacular style and reveal the time she fell victim to a trickster, but that didn't stop her giving him a cuddle (and no, she didn't drive home after this show). Our host Hannah delivers a fantastic true crime which involves some pretty audacious cover-ups and a dash of plutonium - whilst it's clear that she's had more than a dash of Prosecco when she rebels against time itself and goes on to commit a crime against a member of the audience. A raucous and thrilling time was had by all and you get to live it here without the hangover - enjoy! Go to drunkwomensolvingcrime.com for the online shop for MERCH! Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 38DRUNK WOMEN LIVE - with Tiff Stevenson
EAll hell broke loose when the Drunk Women were given chairs on wheels for this performance and now they're going to want them EVERYWHERE they go. The guest, comedian/actor Tiff Stevenson, shared a plethora of crime-ridden encounters which illustrate that either Tiff or her mum should accompany ALL women home on the tube.This week's crime was a mystery that only 4 women drinking Prosecco could possibly stand a chance of solving; as the crew get to the bottom of a case of a woman who enthralled a whole community with her 'strange' behaviours. And the audience crime is pretty spooky and would prompt most people to move out of their home, rather than carry out their own scientific experiments.... with their tongue.

S1 Ep 36Jen Brister, A Cold War Murder & Bucket List Aspirations
EThe Drunk Women and this week's guest on the force, comedian and all-round good egg Jen Brister, pretty much crack a case which has been stumping authorities around the world for the last 70 years! They should have just asked a woman in the first place.This case blows open some epic cold war conspiracy theories and proves that nothing good can happen to a ginger on a beach.Jen's own crime isn't for the fainthearted and is quite frankly straight out of a horror film, while the listener crime exposes Catie's bucket list to public ridicule. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 35Jenny Bede, A Wild West Murder & Chicken Trauma
EIn this episode (which no one can remember recording) the evidence of some brilliant crime cracking and an epic evening at Drunk Women Towers is here for you to... errr... hear.Comedian, actor & writer Jenny Bede showed what a pro she was, by doing just enough pre-drinking to ensure she wasn't behind the curve of her fellow sleuths and for helping the others get-to-grips with some grisly murders, Wild West style.Jenny also shared a crime, which is unusual, harrowing and will make you think twice before having the window view in a restaurant and this week's listener crime will have anyone called 'Alan' looking over their shoulder.

S1 Ep 34Natalia Tena, A Murderous Marriage & Badly Lit Porn
EIn the only episode so far where a mid -record booze run was required, our hosts and their guest - star of Harry Potter & Game of Thrones, Natalia Tena - are brilliantly on-brand and manage to solve a crime, even though none of them could remember doing so the next day.They manage to crack the case of perhaps the stupidest (that IS a word) crime duo in history, who also manage to turn stomachs with some infantile pet names for each other.... that and the murderous tendencies.Also guest Natalia shows that this ain't her first crime-solving rodeo and has in fact been in hot pursuit of a perpetrator who stole her phone, engaging help from passers-by.This may surprise you to know that this was the first record of the evening .... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 33Jess Robinson, Belle Gunness & A Crime In Real-Time
EThis week's guest is impressionist and comedian Jess Robinson, who really brings the case to life by vocally animating the characters involved - which means the dark rating is ramped-up to a hundred.In this episode the drunken dames get down to the case of Belle Gunness, a serial killer who should have inspired a musical by now... but probably not one to watch with the kids!We also hear from a listener who had an actual crime happen to them whilst listening to Drunk Women Solving Crime!! We've gone meta! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 32Hannah Dunleavy, Big Bertha & Where There's Smoke...
EPodcaster, articulate drinker & whiskey fiend Hannah Dunleavy cheated on her 'Standard Issue' chums to help the Drunk Women solve a crime of epic proportions. At least, the size of the perpetrator was epic according to history, hence the name 'Big Bertha,’ who had a silver tongue when it came to getting people to buy whatever she was selling, regardless of whether it was hers to sell in the first place. Guest Hannah also tells a tale of her own in which she got to use some questionable self-defense tactics taught to her by her dad and this week's listener crime sets the team's sleuthing skills a-blaze!Let us know if you're 'Team Big Bertha' or not and please remember to review and recommend us!Standard Issue Podcasthttps://play.acast.com/s/standardissuespodcastThe Drink Podcasthttps://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-drink/id1449473673?mt=2 Hosted on Acast.

Helen proved to be the kind of detective who cuts to the chase and gets to the crux of the matter, which was especially useful when getting to the bottom of her own true crime.The pissed-up detectives then crack the case of a woman who elevated her impoverished routes by playing on female insecurities and selling 'miracle' products to the desperate.... thank goodness that could never happen in the 21st century.And an audience member tells the most horrific listener crime yet .... it happened whilst CAMPING....

S1 Ep 28Uma Nayer, A Soap Opera and The Uninvited Wedding Guests
EWriter, director and podcaster Uma Nayer brought proper champagne with her to help the Drunk Women get to grips with a case which got everyone in a lather and made everyone question whether you can be a serial killer AND a great mother. Uma shares a crime which turned the happiest day of most people's lives into a whodunnit and a listener who is either being given the gift of music, or violated - you decide.Also is this the 1st or 2nd record of the day?

S1 Ep 27Faye Carruthers, A Town Accused Of Murder & The Icing On The Cake
EWhat better way to celebrate your birthday than solving a crime and guzzling prosecco? Well, none if you're sports broadcaster Faye Carruthers, who did just that!

S1 Ep 26Jenny Ryan, The Dug-Up Skull & A Vat Of Prosecco
EJoining the Drunk Women this week is a woman who needs no introduction, but has many guises...to most, she's The Vixen, to some, she's The Bolton Brainiac, but to EVERYONE she's Jenny Ryan!Yes, The Chase's own quiz queen got into the swig of things and used her AMAZING (read: slightly frightening) knowledge of murder and body disposal to help the pissed-up detectives get to the bottom of a case which saw one poor lady lose her head back in 'olden times' AND has something to do with Britain's upper-most National Treasure. In between bottles of fizz, the blotto bobbies also grapple with a crime from Jenny's formative years and a listener's story which is a little close to home for our learned guest. You don't need to have a degree in sleuthing to guess if this episode was the first or second recording of the evening, but do pop your opinion into a review... Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 22Jessica Fostekew, Karma Cashpoint, and the Backstreet Boys Baddie
EThe Drunk Women invited comedian, writer and actor Jessica Fostekew of the Hoovering podcast around for some tipsy sleuthing. Jess gets stuck in with her own karmic tale involving a mysterious tenner (and some very admirable honesty on her part) before the gang crack their most modern crime yet: the story of Lou Pearlman, notorious fraudster and manager of bands including The Backstreet Boys. Although the case traumatically splits the room into singers vs. non-singers, good teamwork prevails. Find out more about Jess here: jessicafostekew.com Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 24Hannah Warman, The Dismembered Arm and The Hapless Shark
EThis week's episode is another throwback to the long, hot summer of 2018, when comedian, artist and singer - songwriter Hannah Warman graced Drunk Women Towers with her well-oiled presence. Hannah kicked things off by sharing a crazy story about the time she was the victim of an Uber crime, which made the UK national press. The fermented foursome then took on a case which starts with a severed arm and ends up as a high-speed (sort of) boat chase, with a life insurance scam and a shark with a digestion problem along the way. And a distressed listener shares a tale which shows that you should never go on public transport without a packet of tissues.

S1 Ep 23Wendy Wason, The Red Wallet & Charles Manson's Forgotten Victim
EFor the Drunk Women, this episode provides a whiff of nostalgia, as it was recorded in the heady days of Summer '18; when temperatures were high, the beer was tepid and guest Wendy Wason wafted-in like a breath of fresh air to get to the bottom of one of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century - Charles Manson. Everyone knows that the Manson 'Family' embarked on a gruesome killing spree, which shook Tinsel Town to its very core - but, fewer know about a previous victim of Manson's which gave some vital clues about his psychopathic tendencies. We also learn there's a time and a place for posting pictures of an intimate nature - and the PTA WhatsApp group isn't it apparently. AND although we don't usually let men in - Tom Cruise has a cameo in this episode, so enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 22DRUNK WOMEN LIVE - with Olivia Lee
EThe Drunk Women held court in The Pleasance Theatre for this episode, joined by a rather well-oiled crowd and the one and only comedian, actor and writer extraordinaire - Olivia Lee! Olivia proved to be not only rather adept at getting-to-grips with a true crime, but she also knows her way around a bottle of gin - our kind of sleuth. The case itself is one of towering proportions (when you listen you'll realise that was quite clever) and it's got a dodgy Count, which seems to be a staple in the world of historic true crime. Plus we get another terrifying insight into life on The Isle Of Wight, thanks to a plucky audience member - sacré bleu! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 21Evelyn Mok, Pirate Anne Bonny & The Doorstep Of Meat
EComedian, Actor & Writer Evelyn Mok joins us for some drama on the high seas, as the team look into the case of Anne Bonny, A LADY BLOOMIN' PIRATE who gained notoriety during the 'golden age of piracy’ (not the DVD kind).As well as sharing a true crime of her own, Evelyn also lets us in on something that makes the earth move for her every night and we find out why one of our dear listeners thrice arrived home to find a doorstep covered in meat. Basically, this episode covers everything important in true crime: piracy and meat. www.evelynmok.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 20Lucy Porter & Lavinia Fisher - America's First Female Serial Killer
EComedian, actor & writer Lucy Porter had a bad start to 'Dry January' when she agreed to be The Drunk Women's first guest of 2019. But, as you'll hear, it's totally worth it as the crew dissect the case of Lavinia Fisher, thought to be America's first female serial killer, although we DO know she was hot, so we should probably forgive her. Lucy tells us about a rather niche crime she keeps falling victim to and one of our dear listeners tells us a story which will make you think twice before you go camping. www.lucyporter.co.ukplay.acast.com/s/fingersonbuzzers Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 19DRUNK WOMEN LIVE - With London Hughes
EAs this episode lands on Boxing Day, The Drunk Women wanted to put something festive in your stocking, so thought you might like more London Hughes! Not only is she back by popular demand, but she's live and unleashed in another episode recorded at the Pleasance Theatre. Taylor hosts this week, with a crime that proves staying in on New Year's Eve is definitely the safest option and although we didn't think London could top the last crime story she told us, somehow she manages it....As it's Christmas, the serving suggestion with this episode is a large glass of Baileys. Happy Christmas from The Drunk Women, thanks for all your support so far! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 18DRUNK WOMEN LIVE - With Suzi Ruffell
EThe Drunk Women went back to the Pleasance Theatre in London, armed with a crate of gin, a little festive cheer and comedian Suzi Ruffell - who also lent her considerable sleuthing abilities to the occasion. Guest Suzi kicks things off with a crime against mindfulness, whilst host Hannah presents a case which will never let you view Santa in the same way. To round things off an audience member shares a past mystery, which had it happened in more recent times would have had a VERY different ending! suziruffell.com. Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 17Sofie Hagen, Half-Hang It Maggie & The Family Jewels
EComedian and podcaster Sofie Hagen joined the Drunk Women to quaff unpronounceable beer and kick us off with a crime of her own from Denmark worthy of top billing on ANY true crime podcast.The Drunk Women then tackle the tale of Maggie Dickson - if it sounds familiar, you probably read it on the back of a pub menu in Edinburgh (which is how Hannah gets most of her historical knowledge).As always the trio and their beer guzzling guest solve one of your listener crimes. Though in this case, listener David and his family could have solved it for themselves if they'd been arsed to get up from their sun loungers. Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 16Angela Barnes, Carl Tanzler & A Crime Worth Conversing About
EAngela Barnes came for the craft beer and stayed for the crime when she dropped in to Drunk Women HQ.
