Drunk Women Solving Crime

We're back in the studio this week, and actor, presenter, and imaginary singer, Judith Jacob popped in to play detective!

As the cava flowed, Judith told the tale of a thief who thought stealing music from anyone's life was a step too far, before joining Hannah and Taylor in the scrum where a certain perpetrator has more than a bloody nerve. 

Finally, we hear from a friend of the show who is potty ab...

It's the final episode recorded at this year's Edinburgh Fringe and the gals go out with a bang after being joined by comedian Jessie Nixon. 

Jessie opens the show by telling us about the time she unwittingly ended up on the wrong side of the tracks but ultimately went full steam ahead to fix the injustice. 

We then hear a baffling case which might help the phrase 'shall I be mother' spread to a global...

In the penultimate outing of the DWSC Edinburgh run of '25, Taylor and Hannah were thrilled to be joined by the incredible Saaniya Abbas for a little crime solving fun!

Saaniya recounted a cold case from her school days where someone had a bad habit for thievery, before aiding and abetting our hosts to get to the bottom of a case where a 'fiend with the face of an angel' perpetrated some dark deeds. 

Finall...

In our second helping of the week, we're joined at the Edinburgh Fringe by the brilliant Geoff Norcott, who began by telling us two tales of criminal woe - one of which puts Geoff himself firmly in the role of law breaker! The team then delves into a case involving a trickster with more than his fair share of confidence. 

Finally, we are treated to another jaw dropping story from a member of the audience involving ...

Today's ep is another foray into this year's fantastic DWSC run at the Edinburgh Fringe where our gals were joined by the legendary comic, Karen Dunbar!

Karen kicks things off beautifully by telling us about the time a bag snatch turned into a caper, before helping Hannah and Taylor solve a case where the perp is anything but the ideal son. Finally, we hear from a couple of audience members whose crime tale is contagiou...

He's back! After a full FOUR YEARS since his last appearance on DWSC, actor, comedian and inventor of drinks, Kiell Smith Bynoe, joined Taylor and Hannah at this year's Edinburgh Fringe to drink tequila and apple juice, and look for absolution for his past crimes ... (he didn't read the instructional email properly), so instead of telling us another story about when he was victim of some criminal wrongdoing, we hear about ...

In today's episode, Hannah and Taylor welcome Australian joke smith Lou Wall to the show, after they appeared at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.

As is customary, Lou starts us off with a crime tale from their own life, and this story features some festive thievery where the perp literally thought they had it in the bag. 

We then hear about a case which sees our protagonist wear many hats, as well as...

You could be forgiven for thinking that today's recording from the Edinburgh Fringe is a séance rather than a DWSC live show, as our guest AND case have more than a little woo-woo about them. 

We start by hearing from the incredible Courtney Buchner, who tells us how her dad's optimistic spirit drives crime to their door, and why her mum being plagued by actual spirits is a real headache. 

We...

All good things come to those who wait, as Taylor, Hannah AND the audience at this Edinburgh Fringe show found out, when our fantastic guest, Emma Doran, made a triumphant entrance onto the stage and proceeded to tell us about the crime that infiltrates her life and why she should probably let calls go to voicemail. 

The gang then investigates a case SO eighties, you'll sprout shoulder pads by t...

On the second DWSC show of this year's Edinburgh Fringe, our guest detective was the fantastic Jamie Lee, who began proceedings by telling us about several mysterious incidents which involved either the messiest, or cleanest perp, depending on your perspective. 

We then hear about a story where the protagonist couldn't waddle his way out of this p-p--particular heist!

Finally, a member of the audience share...

T'was the first night of Edinburgh and all through the house, 300 creatures stirred to watch the Drunk Women - and special guest Rachel Galvo - pop some corks and solve some crimes!

Rachel started off the evening by telling us about the time she accidentally broke into a masonic type ritual, where Richard Osman held high office**. 

The team then investigate a crime where the perp more than took poetic licen...

It's part two of the DWSC's jaunt to the Ventnor Fringe last month, and today we're joined by local MP for Isle of Wight West, Richard Quigley, who told us about his mother's misdemeanours on his childhood haircuts, as well as the time he witnessed a robbery as a student. 

The team then delves into a story of an eccentric leader, who would still be preferable to some of today's real life offerin...

This week's episodes take place on the Drunk Women's annual seaside holiday to the sunny Isle of Wight, where they also decided to do a couple of shows at the fabulous Ventnor Fringe!

Episode one features the brilliant Jessica Fostekew, who popped in before her own show to tell us about the time a guy called 'Dave' managed to fleece the till when Jess was perhaps the world's youngest coffee shop manager.

Sh...

The studio was bursting at the seams during this recording, as Hannah and Taylor welcomed the stars of the 'Killers, Cults and Queens' podcast, Nikki and Cheryl, as well as a veritable posse of onlookers sitting at the side-lines. 

As Nikki and Cheryl are no strangers to crimey content, it's not surprising that they each came armed with stories of ne'er-do-wells infiltrating their own lives, which includes spectral...

Absolute scenes at DWSC HQ when MAFS* very own expert on all things sex and relationships, Charlene Douglas, popped in to show that her skills in psychology transfer seamlessly to crime solving, although her scam radar probably needs a fine tune if her opening story is anything to go by.

The team then look into a case which proves six year olds tread a fine line between master manipulator and being the worst criminal si...

Today's episode was recorded at July's Crossed Wires Festival in Sheffield, where not only was it DWSC's debut in that fair city, but they also happened to be joined on stage by bona fide local royalty in the form of Pulp's legendary drummer and man about town, Nick Banks!

Nick kicked off proceedings by recounting not one, but TWO terrifying tales of 1990s superfandom, aided and abetted by props produced ...

What a day it was at DWSC HQ, as not only were we joined by actor and writer of the detective series Karen Pirie*, Emer Kenny, but we also had a visit from fabulous listener (and competition winner) Margareta, who popped over from Sweden to get on the mic and share a mystery of one very slick intruder.

Before that though, Emer kicked things off by telling us about the time some suspicious 'substances...

It's the second drop of the week and part two of the latest DWSC live residency. Today the hilarious Matthew Crosby popped by to verify if any of his 'enemies' went out of their way to steal his car. 

Today's case then confirms that reunions are on the whole a very bad idea, often leading to murderous thoughts. 

And finally, we finally find out 'who let the dogs out', thanks to a member of the audience...

We're at the final DWSC residency of 2025, and are joined by the incredible, Blank Peng, who is arguably the busiest gal in comedy - and with very good reason. 

Blank starts us off by explaining why horny teenagers might have enabled China's perceived abilities in hacking, before helping Taylor and Hannah get a leg up with a case from the golden age of Hollywood. 

Finally, we hear from an audience...
