Drunk Women Solving Crime

Hello and welcome to today's offering of DWSC, and joining the force is an actor whose powers to deceive has luckily only been used for good is Claire Rafferty, and she starts off the show with a tale featuring many, many steps.

The team then send fur flying as they entrap themselves in a story in which the perp has an epic will for survival.

Next week, it's the first of our live shows from Canterbury Festival with special guest, Mark Steel.

Come and see Hannah and Taylor...

Well, shiver me timbers, we're all at sea this week as we welcome star of Below Deck, Daisy Kelliher onto dry land to help solve a crime featuring a heroine that draws some parallels from her own ancestry - but how?

Plus, we also hear a tale from the high seas from our guest that shows the high seas are not for the faint hearted - ot the faint stomached.

Come and see Hannah and Taylor LIVE in 2027!

Don't miss out on your only chance to see them live in London...

We're back in the studio this week and joined by a comedian who brings an international feel to the show, as Ignacio Lopez is of course half Welsh, and so, is able to recount a crime which as well as rocking the Swansea comedy circuit, also displayed Ignacio's inner detective - and the perp's inner idiot.

The gang then get involved with a case which if isn't a Tarantino origin story, it darn well should be!

If you were wondering what happened before last week's episode to produce such chaos, today's ep might give some clues, as it's part one of the DWSC Oct residency with the wonderous, Esther Manito!

We needed a little bit of extra time for this one, as there were a few microphone gremlins as you might hear in the first few mins, but hopefully that won't detract from the marvellous content provided by our guest, who opened the show with tales of sock thievery at home, and then goes on to work hand in hand with our ever...

If you want box fresh, then look no further than today's ep, which was recorded less than 48 hours before its release at the latest DWSC live show from which most of the people in attendance will no doubt still be nursing sore heads.

The party atmosphere was aided and abetted by special guest, Matt Richardson, who opened the show by dishing the dirt on some nasty neighbourhood nocturnal activities.

The gang then get into a case which yields some surprising facts from the music industry, and thanks to some self-medication on a long-haul flight, there's...

In the studio this week is the fantastic comedian, Farah Sharp, who might not have been destined to hold onto her bike, but at least she probably met its new owner.

Farah then lends a helping hand to Taylor and Hannah in their bid to get to the bottom of why a Russian attempt to pull the wool over the world's eyes didn't manage to get to a great Finnish.

The DWSC London Residency is BACK at The Pleasance.

You can see Hannah and Taylor, plus their special guests in October...

Welcome to this week's episode of DWSC, where our hosts are joined by the marvellous US comic, Meka Mo!

Meka kicks off the show with a story set in a hotel of hostilities, don't @ Paris Hilton though, she was probably not on shift that day.

The team then get involved with a story more colourful than a Buzzball, set around the most wholesome bootleggers in all of prohibition land. Are you sitting comfortably children? Then we'll begin...

Hello and welcome back to DWSC HQ, as Hannah and Taylor are in the studio with this week's guest, the wonderful, Rosie Blackadder!

Before we get a taste of today’s case, we hear about what's bugging our trio of detectives, - and Rosie clues us in on how she managed to actually gain from being scammed and perhaps gave the criminal pause for thought (but probably not). 

We then hear about a case where the perp should have been toast, right from the beginning!

The DWSC London Residency is BAC...

Hello and welcome to the annual DWSC seaside holiday to the glorious Ventnor Fringe on the Isle of Wight! 

This year, the big top was bursting at the seams for a show that included local royalty in the form of drag and cabaret artiste, Quivers!

Quivers kicks things off with a story from their youth, where the (fish) finger of blame is still being pointed 16 years on. 

The gang then see if they can finally solve a ghostly local legend, either from the 16th or 17th century, or perhaps even the 1700s - no...

It's the very last episode from the DWSC 2026 tour and what a way to bow out, as our hosts were joined by the hilarious, Aaron Simmonds, a guy who won't let gender stereotypes affect his eyewear choices or give up in the good fight against the real perpetrators of car crime.  

The team then head to rural Virginia for an ostentatious escapade in which the perp was well and truly fingered for their misdemeanour - AND a member of the audience shares a playground trauma, which left more than a flesh wound. 

Thanks SO much to...

On a balmy night in Norwich, 2026, Taylor and Hannah round off the 2026 DWSC tour, and did so in excellent company, as they were joined by the wondrous Suzie Preece, who started off the show by confessing to a crime in which she used a fake ID that would allow her to join a SAGA holiday rather than a booze cruise. 

The team then go oot and aboot in Quebec to solve another juvenile endeavour, before hearing from a member of the audience who, when it comes to the crunch, needs to blame at least ONE member of t...

Hello and welcome back to Drunk Women HQ, as Taylor and Hannah are joined by content creator and pizza eating empresario, Bella Lindsay!

Bella begins the show by telling us about a duo of criminal behaviours she's had to endure, one in which judgement came on two wheels and the other where not even a swan dive could appease the aggressor. 

The gang then double dare each other to solve a case where the perp is thirstier for approval than for a life of crime. 

Plus, we hear from a listener who wants th...

It's part two of our epic night in Cambridge and we're joined on stage by the fantastic, Abby Govindan!

You may, or may not, be already aware of Abby's work, as the woman who laid claim to being creator of Emily in Paris - but is everything as it seems, or is she in fact the architect of one of the most hilarious social media grifts of recent times? Spoiler alert, it's the oh-la-latter. 

The gang then really come out of their shells to be in with a chance of winning the race to solve t...

The Drunk Women are reminiscing about the lovely time had by all when they appeared in Cambridge one balmy night in June 2026, and you too can hop down memory lane, by listening to today’s episode which happened to be recorded there, featuring the brilliant, Tamsyn Kelly as special guest; who tickled us all pink with a story from the most romantic city in the world, where even the crooks indulge in their own brand of pre-crime foreplay. 

We then stick around in Gay Paree so the team can crack the case of a perp who, along wit...

Hello and welcome to this week's episode, where we are thrilled to welcome comedian Michelle Wolf to the force!

Our guest opens the show by telling us about the time she spent in amongst a terrifying pack of wolves, before giving our hosts a hand in solving a crime caper starting in the 1930s, that has more zig zags than a pelican crossing. 

The DWSC London Residency is BACK at The Pleasance.

You can see Hannah and Taylor, plus their special guests in September, October AND November.

In today's ep, comedian Chelsea Birkby popped in to flex her crime solving muscle, as she helps our hosts wrestle with a case involving the world's first working class pirate (probably), as well as telling us about the time she marked the card of a particularly prolific thief.

Happy Friday! Today our guest, the hilarious Candace Bryan, tells us about a scammer who was feeline pretty lucky to be taken in by her. 

The team then go down to the woods for a big surprise, unfortunately, it IS a man rather than a bear, but at least he's quiet!

But perhaps the biggest crime of all is the revelation that some women opt to wear a bra to bed!!

See you next Weds, when we're joined by comedian Chelsea Birkby. 

The DWSC London Residency is BACK at...

In today's ep, we're joined by the marvellous comedian, Alex Franklin, who not only proves herself to be a real brick with her help in solving a crime against alcohol, but also provides an incredible story of an ex-housemate who must have a nose longer than Pinocchio, even if he IS best mates with Edgar Wright!

We'll see you on Friday, when we're joined in the studio by Candace Bryan.

This week, our hosts dig into a crime perpetrated by a legit jack-of-all-trades, and are joined in the pursuit by comedian Sapphire McIntoish, who helps get to dissect a criminal with an enviable knack for career changes.

Our team also debates which 90s film might make you think about your own life choices ... at least they will never take away our FREEEEEDOM! 

The DWSC London Residency is BACK at The Pleasance.

We're back in Exeter, and thrilled to be joined by the incredible Harriet Dyer, who ditched the other half of her usual crime fighting duo to join forces with Taylor and Hannah and help solve a very slick tale about unbelievable beasts and where to find them; AND to tell us how she and her very own Batman are the only hope for the crime ridden corridors of their block of flats. 

Lastly a member of the audience tells us about a hole in the wall which gives out a heck of a lot more than cash! 

Hello from wonderful Devon! Yes, it's another look back at the DWSC 2026 tour and today we find out what happened when Hannah and Taylor took to the stage in Exeter and were joined by the marvellous Will Adamsdale. 

Firstly, Will shared his impressive rolodex of times people have successfully relieved him of his possessions, before showing what a good boyyy he is, by helping our hosts dig into a crime that happened 160 years ago in the local area. 

Finally, we hear from a member of the audience who tells us about the ti...

We're back in the studio this week, and delighted to be joined by our wonderful guest, actor, musician and author, Alicia Witt. 

Despite hearing about the time she evoked a very strong 'Single White Female' response from Taylor, Alicia didn't run a mile and in fact stayed to tell us about how an incident on a prior trip to London left her feline less than camera ready, before going on to prove she has more than one string to her bow by helping our hosts crack a case which also has its origin story in the English c...

t's part two of our EPIC night in Bristol, and with us the the wonderful Sally-Anne Hayward, who tells us why she's got crime prevention in the bag, before helping our hosts solve a WW2 case in which the protagonist was no match for the Nazis.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our hosts are live in Bristol with the fabulous Robin Morgan as their special guest.

Robin tells us why he's more than a match for the local scallywags, before helping Hannah and Taylor solve a case in which speed doesn't always bode well for our perp. 

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back in the studio this week and joining in the fun and frivolities is the wonderous comic, Amelia Hamilton, who not only came bearing the gift of a contemptuous crime story from her own life, but also brought the gift of Snoop Dogg in alcoholic form (although, not gin and juice).

The group then go right back through the annals of time to help get some justice for the OG girl boss, who always dropped it like it's hot!

See you next week, when we hear what happened in Bristol with Robin Morgan and...

We're back in Leicester, this time with the hilarious Seeta Wrightson, whose opening story earns her the seal of approval from everyone in the room, not a dry eye in the house.

She then aids and abets Taylor and Hannah get to the heady heights of a criminal act from the early 80s... are you sitting comfortably? Cos, our perp certainly was.

We then round off the evening by hearing from an audience member who has never fought crime for The Queen... which is exactly what someone who fought crime for The Queen would say. 

This week's double drop gives the lowdown on what happened when Hannah and Taylor took to the stage in Leicester. First up to join them is the wondrous Chloe Reynolds, who sought catharsis for an ongoing issue - something we're sure her solicitor was delighted about! 

The gang then put their heads together to solve a historical case, which might have taken place locally, but is still MILES away from Shearsby, even if the outcome may not be a million miles away from a similar one today...good to know some things never change. 

Finally, we...

In today's ep, we are joined by presenter and producer, Jamie East, who gave Hannah and Taylor an education in some dubiously named children's TV shows of the 1970s, as well as the T-shirts of the 1990's which acted as the memes of their day. 

Jamie also opens the show with a criminal story of naked ambition, before earning his brownie points by helping our hosts shift through the weeds of a criminal tale where the perp deserved more than a handshake from Paul Hollywood. 

You can check out Jamie's podcast Tales fr...

We're back in the studio today, and joined by producer and writer, Rosie Turner, who tells us about a baffling scenario witnessed in A&E, before helping Hannah and Taylor with a crime against literature. Plus, we hear about a crime story from Taylor's life, which plays on a very specific kind of gull-ability. 

Hannah and Taylor are on tour during the spring and summer of 2026...

Each show is a double record, so that's TWO crimes to solve, TWO fantastic guests and TWO chances to win a set of DWSC coasters!

Here's part two of an incredible night in Oxford, when Hannah and Taylor welcomed the wondrous Dillie Keane on stage. And Dillie didn't arrive alone, as she brought her adorable pup Kevin, who of course stole the show with his adorable antics. 

But Kevin wasn't the only treasure to feature that evening, as our crime case starts with a shipwreck; plus, a member of the audience tells us about a backstage theft by one barefaced perp. 

Hannah and Taylor are on tour during the spring and summer of 2026...

Each show is...

I part one of the DWSC live show in Oxford, which not only saw the audience in high spirits, but the hi jinx spread to the first guest of the evening, the awesome Hannah Byczkowski!

Hannah starts us off with a recent criminal with a long reaching domino effect. We then hear about a local case, which did nothing to ease tensions between the locals and scholars in the city.

Finally, a member of the audience shares a harrowing tale from the terrifying world of Facebook Marketplace. 

Next week, we get to hear p...

In your Friday bonus ep, we hear about the time Stuart McPherson was left wide open to opportunistic theft, thanks to a landlord's rather optimistic views on security. Stuart also helps investigate a case in which the perp manages to contort the criminal narrative and may have also invented those silver status you get in tourist hot spots.

Plus, the gang give their opinions on the circumstances of a listener being relieved of their handbag.

See you next week when we hear what happened in Oxford with Hannah Byczkowski!

Hannah...

It's another double drop week, and what a way to kick it off, as the fiendishly funny Nataly Aukar, is with us to help solve a case where the perp is well and truly in the driving seat. But before then, she shares a tawdry tale of failed fraudulent activity from her school days. 

See you Friday when the wonderful Stuart McPherson is our guest!

Hannah and Taylor are on tour during the spring and summer of 2026...

We're back in the studio this week,and joined by radio presenter and fan of flip flops, Danni Diston. 

Danni starts us off with a story about the time her naked feet and failed ice cream mission put her under suspicion of the law, before exploring a chequered crime story with our hosts. 

We also hear from a listener, who needs help with deciphering a car crime in plain sight. 

Next week it's a double drop, as we remain in the studio with the fantastic Nataly Aukar and Stuart McPherson.

For our second DWSC drop of the week, we stick around in Chelmsford, and welcome the second guest from our live show, the hilarious and impossibly glam Kate Butch!

Kate did not disappoint both sartorially, or comically, as she recounted the times, she was the unlucky recipient of phone snatchings and how the song in her ear pods turned out to be more than a little prophetical.

We then hear about a local case involving some very timely (and thirsty) robbers, before finally inviting an audience member onto the stage to tell us about a crime...

Welcome to the first of the week's DWSC drops from shows recorded in Chelmsford, where a riotous time was had by all, especially when returning guest Ashley Storrie, told us all how her Uncle Tommy's flair for print almost got her in hot water, and shared her penchant for a very specific quirk in the guys she dates. 

The gang then delved into a case that takes us back to 1500s Chelmsford and a very talented cat named 'Steve'. 

And our audience crime also keeps for a feline theme, as we hear about one lady's bru...

It's part two of the DWSC outing to Nottingham, and what a hoot was had, thanks to our wonderful guest, Selina Mosinsky! 

Selina's opening story of a juvenile brush with the law certainly rocked the room, and not a dry stage was left in the house. 

We then hear why a population boom in 17th century Nottingham led to an inflation of criminal activity, with some stiff competition. 

And finally, a member of the audience confesses some shady family shenanigans. 

See you next Wednesday for part one of a glorious night in Chel...

Welcome to your second drop of the week and today’s ep takes us back to the fabulous night we had in Nottingham, when Barry Dodds told us about an early brush with danger where the robust nature of a particular drink saved the day. 

The team then shows us how the sausage is made in a case full of some highly original sources, before a member of the audience recounts a phone theft which was a real scream. 

See you next week for Nottingham part deux, with the hilarious Selina Mosinsky!

It's part two of the DWSC live show in Birmingham, where we get to hear how Lindsey Santoro fell prey to a perp who completely chickened out in their criminal activities. She then gives our hosts a hand with a case where a crime filled caper got one holy order feeling pretty crabby. Finally, an audience member relays a very awkward school days exchange. 

We'll be back on Friday, with the first of our live shows in Nottingham with guest Barry Dodds, see you then! 

Hannah and Taylor are on tour during the...

A few weeks ago DWSC headed to Birmingham, where Joe Sutherland joined them on stage to give some incredible advice on how to hide valuables in plain sight, before helping Taylor and Hannah with a case of the little ball who foiled the hitman. 

Finally, we hear from a member of the audience who tells us about the time where thankfully, she wasn't 'the one'. 

See you next Wednesday for part two of our Birmingham extravaganza with the glorious Lindsey Santoro!

And it's not too late to join in the fun, as you ca...
