Drunk Women Solving Crime

245 Jo Griffin Needs to Move Her Car

Season 1, Ep. 245
How on earth can you nearly get arrested while reporting a crime to the police? Well, according to this week's guest, comedian and 'business lady' Jo Griffin, it's all too easy!Jo's opening story will make you yearn for a Bacardi Breezer in Leicester Square (probably), but I would suggest to anyone to pop into the Yates bar there should you get caught short.We then hear about a crime, which involves one of our fantastic listener's ancestors, and it's a story which - if Taylor has anything to do with it - could be turned into a musical, so get ready to sing along.This week's listener crime will have you in detention if you find it funny, no laughing in class!

    51:59
    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 characters you would have met in a while. Finally we hear from a member of the audience who presents a family mystery for the gang to solve... at least they didn't make it worse!

Thanks to Ruth, the show was able to go on, as she joined the force alongside Taylor and Catie to welcome this week's guest, comedian Sooz Kempner! Sooz opens the show with the time she was the meat in a crime sandwich - and a solid lesson in living one's best life, even if you've only got £40 left in the bank.The team then drape themselves over a criminal tale, involving one of the world's most notorious literary figures. We finally hear from a member of the audience in which the perpetrator really does take the p*ss...Join the Drunk Women at this year's London Podcast Festival, where they team up with the Empire Podcast gang to bring you - Drunk Women Empire!

  • 260. 260 DWSC LIVE: With Susie McCabe

    58:00
    This episode marks the midway point of this year’s incredible DWSC Edinburgh Fringe shows, but the elation of the sell-out run was severely tempered when our very own detective Hannah 'Butt Stuff' George had to return home, after contracting Covid!But, as much of a disaster as this was, the show MUST go on, and so, with Hannah's blessing, we ordained a new member of the force, who carried her new burden with aplomb - it's the brilliant, actor, comedian, improvisor, -and now crime solver extraordinaire - Ruth Bratt!The team can't thank Ruth enough for coming on board for the next few eps (and one in Men's Month) and we know you'll love her too (**Hannah who?).Also, making the absence of our favourite Titanic obsessive a little easier, is this week's remarkable guest, the hilarious, Susie McCabe!Susie shares a crime story with us from her own misspent youth, where she was clearly in no fit state to dictate a photofit.The team then solve a crime ‘witch’ would make them worthy of joining any coven in the land, and lastly we hear from a member of the audience, who confirms all our suspicions about archaeologists are definitely true. **Clearly a joke, there is a Hannah shaped hole in all theCome and see the Drunk Women LIVE at their final residency show of 2023.

  • 256. 256 DWSC LIVE: With Pippa Evans

    52:13
    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 involve Shredded Wheat.We then have a DWSC first, as the audience crime is told by a duo, who were exemplary at sharing the same microphone and thoroughly earned their prize of a bottle of Cava!Come to the Drunk Women's final residency of 2023 on Friday 8th September at 21Soho 21Soho Shows — 21Soho (21-soho.com)And at the London Podcast Festival, Kings Place in September, with a very special mash-up with The Empire Podcast!

  • 255. 255 DWSC LIVE: With Catherine Bohart

    55:40
    The Drunk Women are back in Edinburgh and already storming their Fringe run with sell out shows and incredible guests, and what a way to kick things off, as the team welcomes back the wonderful comedian Catherine Bohart!Regular listeners may remember hearing Catherine's first DWSC appearance, which was recorded online, in the dark days of lockdown, so what a joy to be able to see her in the flesh and in front of such a lovely audience.Catherine (luckily) has had more than one experience with crime, and so shares a story in which the perpetrators involved are far from conservative in their criminality. The gang then get their heads around a tale, in which we learn an awful lot about what one can do with the 'blunt' end of an axe, and that picking strawberries can prove to be a deadly pursuit.To round things off, we hear from a member of the audience, who was shook by the misdemeanours of mysterious neighbours ... although Catherine still isn't convinced of the criminal credentials of the story.Come to the Drunk Women's final residency of 2023 on Friday 8th September at 21Soho 21Soho Shows — 21Soho (21-soho.com)They are also at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival from 4th - 13th August at The Underbelly, Bristow Square Drunk Women Solving Crime | Comedy | Edinburgh Festival Fringe (edfringe.com)And at the London Podcast Festival, Kings Place in September, with a very special mash-up with The Empire Podcast!

  • 254. 254 Strawpedo & Sweats with Chloe Petts

    58:26
    The gals are back in the studio for this rip roaring edition of Drunk Women Solving Crime, most of the rip, and a good deal of the roar, being supplied by this week's sublime guest, comedian Chloe Petts! Although this was recorded on the sweatiest day on record (probably) in London Town, that didn't stop Chloe from stawpedoing a Smirnoff Ice right before we pressed record ... no mean feat considering we didn't really have a straw.Chloe was then revved-up enough to share with us a biting tale of childhood forensics and a teacher who surely missed their vocation in law enforcement?We then get involved with a story which stinks in more ways than one, before solving a crime which left a listener feeling more than a little short changed. Come to the Drunk Women's final residency of 2023 on Friday 8th September at 21Soho 21Soho Shows — 21Soho (21-soho.com)They are also at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival from 4th - 13th August at The Underbelly, Bristow Square Drunk Women Solving Crime | Comedy | Edinburgh Festival Fringe (edfringe.com)And at the London Podcast Festival, Kings Place in September, with a very special mash-up - to be announced!
