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 ...

Lucie’s crime is brought to you from the mean streets of NYC, where she developed a rather strange relationship with her muggers. The detectives get to grips with a case from history, which will make all left-handed, redhead, female midwives VERY glad they weren't around during the reign of King James. And the audience crime comes from someone ver...

The Drunk Women took a suitcase of booze and microphones to a London hotel to do some sleuthing with star of Arrested Development, Search Party and most recently the Sophie Hyde film ANIMALS, Alia Shawkat! Alia shares the time she was framed for a misdemeanour she did not commit, and the team get stuck right into a crime involving one hell of a confidence trickster and her suspicious trunk - which no one seemed to suspect.

They came to drink gin and solve a crime and that's exactly what happened at The Pleasance Theatre on the 4th of July.

It's probably wise not to eat your dinner during parts of this episode, as comedian Caroline Mabey tells the Drunk Women about the time she found something unsavoury in a tent and also shares the best thing to say to a would-be mugger. The crew dig into a crime which turned out to be the catalyst for a pioneering way of gathering evidence - which is still the first port of how we might catch a criminal today. AND we hear about the time Hannah breathed on the bottom of her neighbours' patio windo...

Fabulous blogger, Jo Middleton - otherwise known as 'Slummy Single Mummy' came armed with a thirst for gin and an inquiring mind as she helps the Drunk Women get to the bottom of a war time spy story, in which one of the characters gives a rather wooden performance. We also hear that Jo - despite her efforts - has, thankfully avoided most crimes, but is however the continual victim of a very 21st century phenomenon. And this week's listener crime had a very colourful perpetrator. Read Jo's hilar...

The Drunk Women were unaware they were inviting sleuthing royalty on the show when comedian Thanyia Moore joined in the fun at The Pleasance Theatre, where Thanyia revealed that her mum is 'the black Jessica Fletcher!" And we also find out that if Thanyia and Catie's mothers joined forces, they would be the most feared crime fighting duo the world has ever known. This week's case involves a writer whose own detecting skills could never be described as 'elementary' and an audience member shares t...

In this week's edition of DWSC, journalist, writer and super-cool human Sali Hughes joined the ranks, quickly earning her stripes by flexing her history knowledge to help solve a crime from days of yore. Do you know when the first handgun assassination in London took place? Well, listen to this episode and you soon will. You'll also get to hear about probably the WORST New Year’s Eve night out ever, when being the victim of a crime resulted in Sali sleeping in a pool of child's urine. www.salihu...

The guest in this week's episode is the most qualified yet, as Miranda Sawyer shares the time she solved a crime of her own and then lends her considerable detecting skills to a case which has some much needed help from beyond the grave. And is this week's listener crime an elaborate sibling confession? We think it may be.... For tickets to Drunk Women Live and Merch, go to drunkwomensolvingcrime.com Hosted on Acast.

This episode sees QI Elf Anna Ptaszynski defect from her own hit podcast 'No Such Thing As A Fish' to lend her little grey cells to some true crime solving - although quite a few brain cells were depleted on that record. The drunk detectives get to the bottom of perhaps their most chilling cold case yet - the mystery of the missing Sodder children. And, thanks to a listener, we also get to hear about a bank heist which takes place on the mean streets of Maida Vale. The Drunk Women are taking the...

In 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. Drunk Women Solving Crime are appearing at Th...

This live episode sees guest Shappi 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 m...

All 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...

The 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 ex...

In 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...

In 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 Nat...

This 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...

Podcaster, 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-...

What happens when a comedy legend downs a few proseccos and wanders on stage at the Pleasance Theatre? They solve a crime of course! This week's fourth Drunk Woman is the one and only Helen Lederer! 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 insecuriti...

The Drunk Women decided it was high-time they got back to The Pleasance Theatre to solve a crime, with the help of an audience of listeners, a truck-load of prosecco and guest, comedian Bec Hill! In this episode we learn about a dismembered voice causing pandemonium across Europe, that Bec is always looking to cast a porno and that our live shows are the PERFECT date night. We also hear about a double crime suffered by Bec, which is the epitome of insult to injury. Don't forget, that if you're c...

What 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! Faye joined the drunk detectives for cake and crime, answering the question "is it ever OK for a town to murder someone if they're enough of a dickhead?"

Joining 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 up...

The 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. Fi...

This 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 dig...
