Hello, lovely listener. The team at Drunk Women Solving Crime have an important announcement to make in this special episode. Our very own Detective Sasshole Catie has decided to leave the force, but as you’ll hear, this is by no means the end of the show, because Hannah and Taylor are not handing in their badges anytime soon... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But, it's not Men's Month, we hear those of you who are listening to this on release in February 2024 cry.... Yes, true, but Toby Williams isn't any old man, he's an actor, writer AND he married and impregnated our very own Hannah George, so it's actually well overdue that we hear from Mr HG himself.And what better occasion for him to grace the stage than when DWSC was live at the Ventnor Fringe, Hannah's home town on the Isle of Wight.As well as Toby confessing some criminal activity that could...

It's time for a tidbit of next week's delicious offering, when we find out what happened last summer when the team took the show to Hannah's home Island as part of the Ventnor Fringe on the Isle of Wight! In a tent literally packed-to-the-trapeze, the team solved a historical, local crime, while being joined on stage by the man who did the impossible and made an honest woman of Hannah - right before he knocked her up - yes, it's Mr Hannah George, otherwise known as actor and writer, Toby William...

As the Drunk Women continue to ease their way into 2024 with fortnightly releases, the gals think it's only right that we should get a little nugget of what we can expect in next week's episode, and so here's a taste of what happened when writer of female lead spy fiction, Ava Glass popped into the studio to tell Taylor, Hannah and Catie all about the spy who loved her (at least that's what she thought), how not having pockets made her an easy victim, and to help put some flesh on the bones of a...

Here's what happened in the 'second show of the show' at the very last DWSC residency of 2023, and as you may have heard in the teaser trailer, it's a riotous affair!The hilarious Alexandra Haddow joined the force to help the gang maraud through this tawdry tale of a VERY rare situation.Before we get stuck into that, Alexandra starts things off by sharing a crime against dating (and trainers) and then at the end, a brave audience member tells us the most millennial crime of the millennium ... we...

As the team releases episodes fortnightly during January and February of 2024 so our Hannah can have some restful maternity leave (maternity leave IS restful, right?), we thought it only fair to give you all a sneak peak of what happens on next week's show, with the hilarious, Alexandra Haddow, recorded at the final London residency of '23.What was the intel that Hannah received during the interval? Who is Catie singing 'Happy Birthday'' to? And what does Taylor think is 'even better than murder...

New year, new you? Not for the Drunk Women it's not, they plan to continue exactly how they've been going, as today's episode proves! As you'll hear, it's very much business as usual as comedian and improviser, Alison Thea-Skot joined the ladies on stage during their final residency show of 2023 to tell us about the time Paul Abdul was stolen from her life and help solve a crime from the 1990s that will have you looking at cardboard cut-outs in a whole new light.We continue with the 90s theme fo...

It's part two of the DWSC Flo and Joan special, when we welcome 'Joan' aka Rosie Dempsey to the stage and enable her to get some closure on being the subject of two very different crimes, one of which will make you shake with fear at the thought of visiting the Isle of Wight! The team then solve a case which reads more of a map of Hannah's places of residence than it should do and proves that the written word falling into the wrong hands can be way worse than your WhatsApp messages being made pu...

This episode was released in the darkest days of winter, BUT it was actually recorded back in the heady days of summer when Taylor, Catie and Hannah took to the stage for one of their infamous DWSC residency shows in London, in which they achieved the impossible and split apart comedy double act (and real-life sisters) Flo and Joan - aka Nicola and Rosie Dempsey.You can now hear show one of that night, when Nicola (Flo) joined the ladies on stage to recount the time she stood next to a crime, wh...

It's the last of our 'five guys of 23' as Men's Month draws to a close for another year and completing the stellar line up is the incredible comedian Kuan-Wen Huang, who for the first time in DWSC history brought along a side kick, who also happened to be a victim in his crime story, his bear Nounours!Kuan- Wen tells us about the time a would be kidnapper tried to abduct Nounours, but got more than he reckoned for and will probably never again decide he can pick on someone by appearances alone.T...

We're smack bang in the middle of Men's Month 2023 and this edition is a walk down memory lane, when our Drunk Women took the show to a sell-out crowd at the Edinburgh Fringe, only for poor Hannah to be struck down by the dreaded Covid and so, was forced to head home.But, in her place we recruited the finest sub detective in all the land in the form of actor, comedian and super sleuth, Ruth Bratt! By this time, Ruth was very at home in her role on the force and it didn't take this week's guest t...

Men's Month continues a pace and today is a throwback to the heady days of Edinburgh Fringe 2023, when comedian, broadcaster and former barrister, Clive Anderson threw caution to the wind and joined Taylor, Catie and Hannah on stage, impressing the sell out crowd with his phone's umbilical cord as well as the ability to solve crimes.Clive started off the night with a tale from his 'wild' student days - thank goodness he didn't go down the wrong path all those years ago!The whole team then solve ...

In today's episode our guest isn't only a published author, but Kate Weston also joined us on book publication day itself because she was DYING to help solve a crime which is already an odds-on favourite.

On this week's episode, we put ourselves in the shoes of our guest Jo Caulfield, as the brilliant comedian opens the show with an audacious tale of bare faced cheek, but at least the rest of the panel were able to conSOLE her in her hour of need.As this was recorded in the latter part of the DWSC sold-out Edinburgh run, the part of Hannah is being played by the lovely Ruth Bratt, as she stepped-in to assist Taylor and Catie to help solve a crime which involves some of the most hat stand characte...

Joining the Drunk Women on the second show of their Edinburgh Fringe run, was not only a sold out audience, but also the legendary comedian, author and improviser, Pippa Evans.Pippa started off the night with a tale of tables and punches flying, a police caution and the ruining of Christmas ... not something you'd associate with the UK city of Bath.All of this sets us up nicely to hear about the dodgy dealings of breakfast cereal copyright law, which is not as dry as it sounds, even if it does i...
