Drunk Women Solving Crime

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 propo...

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...

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 acas...

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 - f...

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...

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...

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 de...

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 enj...

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...

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...

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 an...

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 listene...

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'...

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 psycholo...

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...

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...

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...

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 Wom...

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 aud...

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,...

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...

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.

See acast.com/privacy for more in...

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 roun...

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. On hand was adventurer and Island local, Anneka Rice - who revealed a pretty thrilling s...

In this episode, the gang enlist a sleuth from across-the-pond, in the form of comedian, writer and producer Jena Friedman! Jena and Taylor explore the stark contrast of the UK Bobby and the NYPD (definitely not a good idea to invite them into your apartment for a drink!) and the group crack the case of a man who proved (almost) impossible to murder! Plus, one lucky audience member really earns th...
