Hi there! We are Mystery on the Rocks, a comedy cocktail mystery podcast with award-winning comedians Sooz Kempner, Masud Milas and Chris Stokes ham-fistedly trying to solve real-life mysteries over cocktails.

  • Just the right mix of mystery and comedy

    started listening a few weeks ago, discovered two of the Ken Brennan episodes and was beyond delighted to find out there was a third

    The real mystery is the enigmatic private detective we’d canonically all blow. And also whether JFK's head just did that

  • The best "true crime" style pod out there. They have successfully made me an armchair detective and an alcoholic.

  • Kinda okay…

    I dropped in to listen to the Christa Helm episode. It was ok. They’re ok funny. But nothing says bitter Brit’s like obsessing over the mention of worcheshire sauce for far too long, while also (jealously) shaming a woman for trying to make it in Hollywood. Something they seem to disdain for it’s superficiality and transactional nature, whilst also hosting an entire an entire podcast obsessing over America’s Hollywood scene. It’s weird that they are devoting their lives to something they seem to... more

  • So funny

    I love getting a new podcast to listen to, so I was excited about this one. I’m really interested in the mystery surrounding Natalie Wood’s death, and listened with interest....I'm so glad I did! Their facts are so interesting to say the least, their jokes are beyond funny and so insightful, even when they are discussing someone’s death......AND THEN they started to discuss Fred Astaire, and how sexy Gene Kelly was. I was hooked!
