Drunk Women Solving Crime

Two, four, six, eight - who do we appreciate? This week's guest of course, who happens to be the fantastic writer and activist, Cicely Belle Blain! Cicely joined the team at their residency in London, in front of a packed-out audience, which also happened to contain her mother, who will only entertain sitting f'row, for maximum effect. Cicely starts things off with a story worthy of its own N...

How on earth can you nearly get arrested while reporting a crime to the police? Well, according to this week's guest, comedian and 'business lady' Jo Griffin, it's all too easy! Jo's opening story will make you yearn for a Bacardi Breezer in Leicester Square (probably), but I would suggest to anyone to pop into the Yates bar there should you get caught short. We then hear about a crime, which invo...

In today's episode, Hannah once again brings the fold-out table into the lounge for the team to gather around, so they can get to the bottom of a crime, and a bottle or two of wine.

In today's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, the gang gathered around Hannah's flat to sip some vino, eat snacks and solve a crime and were very ably joined by comedian and writer Sally O'Leary! As always the guest had the floor to start us off and so Sally told us about an encounter with an unwitting trespasser, which could have yielded a marriage made in heaven - write in if you&nb...

The DWSC team are back in Hannah's flat, sipping some drinks while solving a crime or two, and were delighted to be joined in their endeavours by the hilarious comedian, Ria Lina! Ria came armed with some sharp detective skills and a crime story in which redemption (of sorts) was let in through the back door and then marched straight back out again! The gang then set about solving a crim...

This episode serves as a time machine to the heady days of December 2022, as the ladies were joined by writer Robyn Wilder on a live zoom to have a bevvy or two and solve some crimes!

We then dive i...

What happens on a live zoom call clearly doesn't stay on a live zoom call when the Drunk Women are involved, exhibit A, ladies and gentlemen... The team decided to invite their closest friends - or Patreons as they are otherwise known - to watch the mayhem unfold with this week's wonderful guest, comedian and writer, Posey Mehta! Fun fact, Taylor, Hannah and Catie shared a dressing room with Posey...

Back at their London residency , the Drunk Women welcome brilliant comedian Daisy Earl to the force, who shared a story in which one could argue 3 perps played a part... the criminal themselves, the police and Daisy's own mum... we'll let you be the judge, but in our opinion NO ONE should be chip shamed! Once Daisy recounted her ordeal to the baying crowd, the gals then knuckle down to a crime wit...

The Drunk Women are back in the flat for this episode and joining them around the table is podcasting legend, Helen Zaltzman! Helen started-off by sharing some childhood detective-smarts that would put Columbo to shame... oh and another thing there's no 'S' in her name either! The team then skilfully crack a case which frankly has all the trimmings of a classic Agatha Christie ... mainly because i...

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.

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 act...

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...

The Drunk Women were thrilled to be back at the wonderful Lowry Theatre, Salford in late 2022 and are equally as thrilled to be sharing what happened on that fantastic night with you all today. Guest Kimia Etemadi was so eager to tell us her story of attempted vigilantism that she popped-out on stage a little early, and the comedy writer also showed some impressive skills when it came to solving a...

The team then dissect a true crim...

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 t...

It's part two of the Drunk Women's epic night out in Bristol, when the booze and laughter flowed and crimes were finally solved.

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.

The Drunk Women are casting their minds back to the fantastic double bill of shows they did in Leeds back in October 2022 and now invite you on that trip down memory lane too. Their first amazing guest was comedian Eme Essien, who opens the show with a story which carries some healthy lessons in fraud prevention, she learnt them for us, on more than one occasion. The team then get involved in a ho...
