For 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...

The 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 ...

Comedian, 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...

As 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!

The 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.

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 endin...

Comedian 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.

As always the trio and their beer guzzling guest solve one of your listener crimes. Though in this case, list...

Annabel's own crime story displays a heroism which has earned her the name 'The Falcon' ... definitely call her that if you see her out and about. The sloshed sleuths also ...

Louise displays top sleuthing skills when she helps a listener get to the bottom of what happened to her goldfish and if her student days are anything to go by, her forensic abilities were probably acquired later in life.
