Drunk Women Solving Crime

Drunk Women Solving Crime, hosted by Taylor Glenn and Hannah George, is a hit true crime comedy podcast where a guest is invited to solve a crime from history over a glass or two. Past guests include Katherine Ryan, Rosie Jones, Ricki Lake, Romesh Ranganathan, Kiell Smith Bynoe, Helen Bauer and many more. 

And after last year’s storming success, they are coming back to Brighton for more festive fun, so make sure you book early for this festive double record.

That’s right, TWO shows, TWO guests, TWICE the amount of crime solving… if this doesn’t get you in the Christmas mood, nothing will!

So, come along and join the force to be in with the chance of winning a prize for your best crime tale… See you there!

This show’s special guests will be best-selling author, TV writer, actress and presenter Emma Kennedy and award-winning comedian and writer Dane Buckley.


Emma Kennedy.

She has appeared in numerous TV comedies including Goodness Gracious MeThe Smoking Room and Miranda, and wrote the BBC sitcom The Kennedys, based on her book The Tent, the Bucket and Me. Emma has also written for award winning-CBBC show Strange Hill High and Dangermouse.

Her novels include The Things We Left Unsaid (2019) and The Never Ending Summer (2021), and her latest book, Letters from Brenda (2022), is a heartbreakingly funny account of finding a collection of her mother’s lost letters after her death and exploring the question of who she really was.

Emma won Celebrity Masterchef in 2012 and is a Guinness World Record Holder.


Dane Buckley

Dane Buckley is the world’s only Irish, Indian, gay comedian… probably. An award-winning comedian and writer, he delivers his comedy effortlessly with cheeky charm and camp mischief.

Dane burst onto the comedy circuit in 2022, making a name for himself by winning Gong Shows and was a finalist in LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year (2022), British Comedian of the Year (2024) and BBC New Comedy Awards (2024).

Whether it’s stories of his early years (Irish mammies, Indian grannies, and rebel priests) or his career in social care (chasing pensioners through Paris or delivering a baby impromptu) audiences across the UK are enjoying Dane’s hilarious and heart-warming tales.

Dane has supported Tom Allen, Rosie Jones, Joanne McNally and Josh Widdicombe on Tour, has been featured on Comedy Central, BBC Three and BBC One, and is a regular on the club and festival circuit.

Dane co-hosts the hugely popular podcast Welcome to Hell which debuted in the top 10 charts of both Apple and Spotify. Together with Daniel Foxx, the Infernal Aunties judge outrageous confessions, celebrate the salacious and revel in a good old-fashioned gossip.

The comedy itself was incredible and we were cackling the entire time! This was my first night out of the house in months, thank you so very much for making it so joyful and comfortable. You are all brilliant!!!!!

Please extend my gratitude to all the terrific people at Komedia who contributed to my night flowing smoothly.

We just wanted to thank you all for an amazing show last night. We had a blast performing and working with you all. Thanks also to Taylor and Dylan and wow, we love your security guards. Thanks so much! Hope to see you again sometime 🙂

Thank you for hosting me! It was such a pleasure working with your incredible team. I felt truly looked after. Special shout-out to Steve and Misti on tech—you’re both stars 🧡

Thanks again for having me last week. I was very, very happy… and my first solo show in Brighton! Thrilled we got such a good crowd.

A MASSIVE thank you for making us feel so welcome and for all your support you gave us. Thank you to Steve (our Technician on the night) and Taylor (behind the bar) for being sooo brilliant and helpful. Big thank you to the doorman at Komedia for being so lovely too! 😊

The accessibility at Comic Boom Comedy Club was absolutely brilliant. I had emailed beforehand and your communication about accessibility was great. The staff at the event were also great. I really appreciate how easy it was in a wheelchair as not all venues are so accommodating.

Once again, great fun at the [Komedia Comedy] club! The crowds were great and the staff is second to none. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for having me, it’s always a blast.

Thanks very much for last night. Genuinely one of the nicest spaces I’ve been to, and the whole team was so helpful and kind. We all felt very valued and cared for. It’s an excellent space and crowd, and I’d love to come back any time!

I always enjoy comedy at the Komedia. The venue is perfect for a comedy club – low ceilings and intimate, but also space for a good sized audience.

Another fantastic evening at Komedia’s Comedy Club! … the best way to spend your Friday or Saturday night in Brighton.
