CheapShow is a comedy podcast all about getting the very best out of the worst! Be it Poundlands, Charity Shops, Car Boot Sales or Bargain Bins, hosts Paul Gannon & Eli Silverman poke around in the corners of the high streets and internet to find treasure in the trash. One week it could be a studio based show, the next, a live comedy event. It could even be a location report or a scripted adventure! A few things it is, however, is rude, crude, silly and drizzled in pop culture, nostalgia and plenty of verbal violence! It has guests, videos, songs, reviews, games and dares. We apologise in advance! www.thecheapshow.co.uk
- 524 - Ep 500: The 5th Live One
It’s been 11 years and 500 episodes, but Paul and Eli have made it to this significant milestone! To celebrate, they’re putting on the show of their lives with as much madness they can throw at you over the course of 2 hours. It’s a high concept idea done with NO budget and NO rehearsal but it’s packed with music, magic, sketches, games, asides, videos, cameos and the usual catastrophe that CheapShow embraces. There are surprises in store in this epic live show spectacular, so get comfortable, grab some instant noodles, a weird soft drink and listen to CheapShow’s biggest live show to date! With special guests Stuart Ashen, Ash Frith, Louis King, Nick Helm & Paul Putner… With special appearances from Sooz Kempner, Ethan Lawrence, Brian Wecht, Leighton Gray & John Rain!

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 - 41min - 522 - Ep 499: Door To Door (Mono)
Mono Edition For over a decade, Paul and Eli have tackled a number of long, weird and tiring walks for their “walkabout” episodes. This week, for our four hundred and ninety ninth edition of the economy comedy podcast, the Cheap Chaps take on their most epic, most arduous and definitely most punishing walk EVER… And all they are doing is walking from Eli’s flat in Harringay to Paul’s place in Harrow. How hard can it be? As it turns out, it’s a ruddy nightmare! What seemed like a cute idea at the start quickly becomes a walkabout like no other. Over the course of NINE hours and around 16 miles, they’ll take in high streets, quiet suburbs, motorways, country parks, winding trails, parkland walks, familiar routes, hot weather, old haunts and accidently dig up some memories from the past decade of CheapShow. It’s an emotional episode with plenty of big arguments, dark humour, dumb decisions and many embarrassing agonies to endure over THREE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES! You want an Odessey?

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 - 3h 22min - 520 - Ep 498: Everything Must Go!
It’s eyes down for the forthcoming 500th episode! Paul is clearing out the CheapShow cupboards and aiming to craft a nice blank slate for the future. This week on the podcast, the Cheap Chaps are going to be opening up a couple of PO Boxes to see what’s inside, hoping to clean the decks before the live show. As a result, Paul & Eli are going to tear through, in real time (kinda) TWO Price of Shite challenges and a quick bevy of unusual sodas! How much CheapShow can they cram into ONE hour? Why not listen and find out? It’s a bukkake of toys, books, records, snacks, gadgets and stupid bloody trivia games. And yes, CheapShow is still getting bizarre and increasingly unhinged death threats… Where will it all end?

With Special Guest: Ethan Lawrence He’s back again, the cheeky chap who likes to take time out from his telly shows to join Cheapshow for more cheap thrills! Paul & Eli are joined by actor Ethan Lawrence (Horrible Histories) for a good, old fashioned edition on the economy comedy podcast. Thankfully, he’s also curated his own Price of Shite for the hosts to battle over. He’s got five charity shop items and ready to hand out p’twings! And oh boy howdy, has Ethan bought some crap for Paul & Eli to price up. Elsewhere in the podcast, it’s time to warm up your taste buds as the terrible trio taste a range of “crispy chicken skins” and a Pepsi drink that is PACKED with caffeine. However, what with Ethan being in charge for a good chunk of this episode, this allows for a bit more argy-bargy between the two main hosts. When Paul doesn’t like what he hears, he’s going to start editing this episode more severely! What a child!

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 - 1h 17min - 518 - Ep 496: The Vimto Dispute
You know, every week can’t be a high-octane, star studded affair! Outside of the amazing guests, random walkabouts and theme park adventures, sometimes you just need a solid “meat and potatoes” episode of CheapShow, and oh boy howdy, is this an episode of CheapShow alright! We’ve got a dash of Sauce Report (which mentions something we will follow up on in the future), there is a bit of a soft drink safari and we end with an impressive, fascinating Price of Shite… grabbed from the charity shop shelves of Hemel Hempstead. If you are up for a no thrills economy comedy podcast, then this week is JUST for you! In other news, Paul is still getting death threats, Juicy Jeremy is still living in his car and if any of this makes sense to you, then you have fallen under our spell! GOT YOU!

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 - 1h 22min - 517 - Ep 495: Last Podcast On The Thrift (With Marcus Parks)
With Special Guest Marcus Parks Every now and then, CheapShow likes to reach out and attempt to grab someone for the show they think would be a perfect fit… Whether they are or not. This week on the economy comedy podcast, Paul & Eli are joined by Marcus Parks from the Last Podcast On The Left and Last Podcast Network. It’s a huge honour to have someone on the show who’s been a massive inspiration. However, now that he’s here, what can poor Marcus expect? Well, Paul sent Marcus a BIG box full of stuff for him to investigate. There’re some uniquely British snacks for him to savour, a few spooky books to absorb and there’s also a very special Price of Shite to evaluate. On top of all that, Paul & Eli have found a few vinyl records to inflict on Marcus… and he may never be the same again! With very special thanks to Marcus and the whole Last Podcast Network for making this happen!

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 - 1h 22min - 516 - Ep 494: Theme Parklife
Full disclosure, this episode isn’t exactly “cheap” but it was necessary. Paul is having a bit of a tough time at the moment, and wanted to do something where he could let off some steam and have some genuine fun… So, on his own dime, Paul has paid for him and Eli to have a day out at one of the UK’s best known theme parks, Thorpe Park in Surrey. It’s been a long time since either of the Cheap Chaps had visited Thorpe Park, so now is a good time to check out the big, scary rides that exist past the turnstiles! They’ve only got a little over 5 hours, so they’ll cram in as much as they can. Paul can’t get enough of the most intense, thrilling rides at the park, but Eli may be a little more reluctant to be thrown about. This week, allow us to “have a bit of fun” as Paul and Eli tackle long queues, junk food, an overwhelming number of “young people”, and experience some of the most intense rollercoasters the UK has to offer. Whether you like it or not, you’ll hear every scream, cheer and roar of the rides this week on a temporarily “not cheap” episode of CheapShow.

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 - 2h 17min - 515 - Ep 493: The Boys Of Summer 2: Amber Ambling (Mono)
(Mono Version) Whenever the UK gets a sniff of hot weather, Paul wants to make sure CheapShow is getting the best out of it by grabbing the handheld recorder and convincing Eli to head out into the heat. This year, Gannon may have pushed his luck a bit too far. A few years ago, they headed out into the sun for a boozy bunk off episode, and Paul wanted to recreate that this week, but Eli (rightly) thinks it’s a bad idea. It’s made worse by Paul’s insistence to do a bit of geocaching when all Eli wants to do is find shade and eat fatty food and drink. To say that nothing goes smoothly, or to plan, is a massive understatement as the Cheap Chaps trapse around Ruislip Lido and the nearby woods looking for SOMETHING to go right.

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 - 2h 13min - 513 - Ep 492: Unwarranted Poetry
We’re back on the spinning platters trip this week, with a few more vinyl discoveries to throw your ears towards. Eli is obsessed with his first choice, a nice bit of musical poetry that folds in an infamous tongue twister into the mix. However, it becomes more apparent that what Eli actually likes best about this track, is the cover art. Yes, it appears to be a buxom lady furiously plucking a pheasant, but Eli finds deeper, more lurid images within the frame. To combat this grisly fixation, Paul decides to go full Pam Ayres and continues to drop in and out of her throughout the whole episode. Which is unfortunate. Luckily, Paul is cock-a-hoop over his own discovery… A full album of songs from the 1980s “one hit wonders” Renee & Renato! We guarantee that these little ditties will put a dumb smile on your face. For the finale this week, Paul and Eli battle it out over who knows the most about London with a board game called “Streetwise”. Warning: There may be cheating!

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 - 1h 26min - 512 - Ep 491: FIFA Fo Fum
(Special Guest Ash Frith) On this week’s VERY special episode of CheapShow, Paul and Eli tackle something they are not particularly comfortable talking about, nor do they have a lot of knowledge on this subject… Football! But why are they even tackling this topic, is it because of the 2026 World Cup taking place in the USA? Why, yes. It is. They’re cynically chasing a trend, but in CheapShow’s own particular way. Luckily, they have a helping hand to guide them through, as the original fair-weather co-host, Ash Frith, joins the show after a LONG absence. Over the next 90 minutes (including injury time), the thrifty threesome will explore the cult of football fandom, taste some World Cup inspired snacks, investigate the history of World Cup mascots and try to decipher the 1982 England Football Team World Cup Celebration album. Yes. A football team released a load of songs. How does it go? Well, you’ll find out in this week’s soccerific edition of the economy comedy podcast!

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 - 1h 35min - 511 - Ep 490: One Bad Candle
After last week’s mega walkabout, it’s time for Eli and Paul get back to what they do best… arguing over the price of random charity shop tat. Thanks to a PO Box delivery from Ireland, the Cheap Chaps have an episode’s worth of odd crap to price up for those delicious “p’twings”. Luckily, it’s not all bric-a-brac, the PO Box also has a few things to slurp on too. There are three Japanese Fanta flavours to investigate. The only real problem is that these drinks are out of date, so will their studies be impaired by potential soda rot? However, if you think Paul and Eli are in for a rough time with those fizzy drinks, you need to wait until they get to one particular item in the Price of Shite game… I mean, how bad can a candle smell? It’s just a candle. Right?

They don’t have all the time in the world, so the cheap chaps try to cram in as many shops as possible before they close up for the day. Hopefully, they’ll find what they need with the £10 budget they’ve been given… But who will get the most/best/worst stuff when the final evaluation arrives? As you can imagine, it’s never this easy for Paul and Eli, so in amongst all the shopping, they manage to get lost looking for a building Eli can’t shut up about, find out their train has been cancelled and, once again, discover that they may have a problem finding a private place to weigh up the spoils of their hunt.

(Mono Version) Back when CheapShow was only a couple of dozen or so episodes old, the economy comedy podcast was originally recorded in Cambridge, where Paul had his fill of charity shops to explore. However, despite recording there for almost two years, they’d never done a “walkabout” episode. So this week, to make up for lost time, Paul and Eli are heading back to Cambridge for a wander and a “Tat Hunt”. Not only that, but because Ep 500 will be a LIVE EVENT at the Cambridge Junction venue in August, it gives them a chance to track down and snoop about the theatre. The Tat Hunt rules are in place… They both get £10 to spend on whatever they can… Trinkets, Toys, Tracks or Textbooks, and they get to review them in next week’s conclusion. So here we are, Part One of another Tat Hunt adventure that ends up being all “rather pleasant”, which is a delightful change!

Fri, 22 May 2026 - 1h 20min - 506 - Ep 487: Henry Croft's Tomb
It’s time to dive into another book in this week’s CheapShow! Thanks to a kind listener, Paul has gotten his hands on a book called “London Lore” by Steve Roud. It tells of the tall tales and myths of London, so the cheap chaps have a look at some places they are familiar with. They stumble on a truly nonsense poltergeist story that fails to impress, but their second story is a lot more interesting. Turns out that the famous “Pearly Kings and Queens” of the UK capital have a truly fascinating beginning, not in the East of London… but in the North? If all that reading isn’t your taste, how about some Sauce Report action? Eli’s been informed that there is a range of sauces found in B&M, that are based on Seabrooks’ crisp flavours! How good can they be? It’s up to the Sauce Professors to give them a proper taste test, JUST for you. Also, it seems all this “Content House” rubbish is getting TOO intrusive for Paul & Eli!

Fri, 15 May 2026 - 1h 05min - 505 - Ep 486: Supermarket Sweepings
Every now and then, Cheapshow likes to go a little “wild in the aisle” when it comes to charity shop shopping… This week, they get to put their spending skills to the test when Paul whips out a board game based on a beloved 1990s game show, Supermarket Sweep! Hosted by Dale Winton, contestants ran around a huge supermarket, hunting for items and answering food based questions. But will the board game reflect the excitement of the TV show? You probably already have a good idea on the outcome to that, in a classic Gannon’s Golden Games. Eli’s also got to sweet treats to sample, with a return to the Froth Shop. The candy store has reopened, but sadly, an all too familiar face is running the shop. To make matters worse, Paul is definitely not going to like some of the gummies on offer. It’s all going to be very disappointing, isn’t it? Oh and Eli is MEGA hung over.

Fri, 08 May 2026 - 1h 24min - 504 - Ep 485: Trinket Wanderers (Mono)
(Mono Edition) Sometimes, CheapShow is inspired by the random discoveries they find in the odd corners of the internet. This week is prime example of that. Paul has discovered something called https://worldwidesidewalkjoy.com that invites people to wander around their local area, picking up and dropping off random toys and trinkets to share with strangers. It’s a cute idea, and CheapShow wants in. After a look over the website’s global map, they realise that there are four of these trinket swap boxes in London, so why not go and find them? What this leads to is a reasonably fractious walkabout episode that invokes joy, rage and confusion. It in no way leads to an argument that was so unpleasant that it had to get cut from the show. Nope. Not at all. Will CheapShow survive this week’s episode? We guess you’ll have to listen and find out!

Fri, 01 May 2026 - 1h 29min - 502 - Ep 484: Nissin Impossible
Here at CheapShow HQ, we do our best to ensure you are kept up to date with all the latest instant noodle news. This week, we bring you the BIG review YOU demanded! Eli has secured 4 very limited edition Nissin Cup Noodles. Three of these have a “chicken wing” theme, covering flavours such as Buffalo Ranch, Garlic Parmesan and Lemon Pepper. The fourth flavour is Dill Pickle, but will it live up to Eli’s high standards? If you care not for noodles, we have a few unusual vinyl record discoveries to confuse and upset. We learn about “Splodge Music” and what “punk pathetique” is via a weird punk EP and then we uncover a track that is so obscure, so unknown that we have no idea what to make of it. It’s troubling in ways we cannot fathom. Can you help?

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 - 1h 19min - 501 - Ep 483: Shipped Family Silverman
Remember a few weeks ago when Eli popped over to the USA to see family? Well, not only did he bring back a few snacks and treats (as sampled in an earlier episode), but he recorded a few audio packages from his time away. So whether Paul likes it or not (and he doesn’t like it), this week’s episode will be built on the bones of the Silverman family’s adventures. Eli’s playing clips of what he got up to in Florida and when he has his unruly clan went on a cruise ship adventure… with a free bar! This can only mean Paul is in for a rough, raucous listen… and he will be very honest about his opinions of this boozy travelogue!

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 - 1h 25min - 500 - Ep 482: Licence To Thrift
With Special Guest: John Rain It’s been a long time coming, but finally, John Rain from the wonderful Smersh Pod podcast is joining Paul and Eli for a 007 themed edition of CheapShow! Paul’s been hoarding a load of James Bond based bric-a-brac over the past few years in the hope that John would eventually end up on the show. As a result, the whole episode is going to be one huge Bond Price of Shite. There are books, toys, games and all sorts of random nonsense in between. John will have to defend his knowledge of Ian Fleming in a 007 Trivia Pursuit challenge and Eli is going to try and bring him down a peg or two! However, Eli has also brought along his own Bond girl and henchman, and Paul is going to have to put up with it! Oh! And there is 007 Coca Cola to try too!

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 - 1h 44min - 499 - Ep 481: Pepsi Challenged
With Special Guest: Nick Helm The last time comedian and actor Nick Helm was on the podcast, he said he would return if we did a Pepsi special. Eli and Nick have been banging on and on and on about ruddy Cherry Pepsi Max and Paul just wants it all to go away. So Nick and Eli want a Pepsi packed episode do they? Well, Paul will make sure they’ll all be sick of the stuff by the time this (very long) recording ends! They’ve sourced flavours from across the globe to taste and review… and not only that, but Gannon has a Pepsi themed “Price of Shite” to squeeze in too! It’s another rambling, noisy, frenzied, fizzy pop infused edition of the economy comedy podcast. Hold tight, there’s burps ahead!

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 - 2h 00min - 498 - Ep 480: Remember The Alamo
Eli is finally back from his break in the US of A and Paul’s had a week off to try and get some of his sanity back. However, because Eli’s return is so close to the release of our weekly schedule, Paul suggests another one of their patented “real time” episodes to save him a bunch of editing! Once again, they start the clock and don’t stop for 60 minutes! Well, apart from when they stop the clock to throw in a “secret recording” and once again to collect their order from KFC! It’s a foodie episode this week and there are some truly HORRIBLE “Cheap Eats” for Paul and Eli to endure. To make matters worse, they’ve also ordered the Pickle Meal from KFC and after everything else they’ve ingested this week, this final bite may finish them off!

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 - 1h 04min - 497 - Ep 479: Escape From Screaming Wood (Mono)
(Mono Version) It may have taken forever, but Paul and Eli are finally at Dering Woods in Kent for some spooky wanderings. Sadly, because it took so long, it’s already getting dark and the Cheap Chaps have a lot to do before they can think about turning around and going back to Pluckley Station. Now that they’re lost in “Screaming Woods” it’s time to have a small (poorly planned) picnic and finish off The Price of Shite. Paul has two more items, one of which should come in VERY handy once darkness falls in this truly spooky woodland. The mist is rolling in, darkness is falling, strange sounds (and people) can be heard in the distance and Eli’s lost all his stuff and is getting very ratty… And that’s all before a VERY long, VERY dark walk home. Looks like Paul and Eli are going to be VERY grumpy again. Additional music by White Bat Audio.

Mono Version It’s finally time for CheapShow to escape the confines of their usual recording space and venture out into the big wide world once again. For their first major “walkabout” adventure of 2026, Paul wants to visit the UK’s “most haunted” wood, which is situated near the equally as haunted Pluckley village in Kent… But Eli and Paul aren’t going there, they are heading to “Dering Wood” to look for something, ANYTHING spooky. It’s also been called the “Screaming Wood” but will the only screams Paul hears be the angry, frustrated and howls of his pissed off co-host? Eli is not happy getting lost in a part of the UK he doesn’t know AND he is very not happy to do it on winding country lanes. Will the Cheap Chaps ever get to their destination? Will Eli be able to guess the price of the shite Paul has also brought along? This is Part One of one of CheapShow’s most calamitous of rambles!

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 - 1h 46min - 493 - Ep 477: Bad Boy William Roy
It’s story time this week on CheapShow. It’s been a while since we’ve had a “Dollop-esque” segment and in this episode, Gannon brings along the tall tale of William Roy. In his day, he was one of the UK’s most respected psychic mediums, giving shockingly accurate predictions and personal information to some of the most powerful people in the world. However, it all came crashing down and Roy confessed all… So how did he do it? Paul digs into an old issue of The Unexplained Magazine from the early 1980s to find out about the bold life of William Roy. However, Eli Silverman fans need not fear, as he has brought a load of sauces with him too! He’s got three new discoveries to share with his co-host. There is a Friend’s themed marinara, a Mango Mint cheeky one and one made from bananas, so they could all be awesome, or ruddy awful. You’ll have to listen in and find out the results!

Eli has come packing some serious noodle heat with three fascinating new varieties to munch on. We’re sure you will devour their expert opinions. There is a creamy curry one, a pork broth comfort snack and a chili chicken treat, each prepared differently. It’s Noodle Heaven! Just in case things become too much for you, Paul manages to squeeze in a quick new Tomy game called “Spin-fessions” that sparks a few interesting true stories. Oh, it’s a proper tasty pod… and some old faces reappear for some weird, nefarious reason.

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 - 1h 22min - 491 - Ep 475: The Colour Of Money
There is some old school, good old fashioned, classic CheapShow action this week on the podcast! Paul is very excited to share his latest “Gannon’s Golden Games” segment with a game he has been after for a while… The Colour Of Money. Although it’s based on an ITV game show, you’d be hard pressed to remember it OR care, but is the electronic board game as thrilling as the TV show wanted it to be? Paul and Eli will find out. If all that isn’t enough, we open up a new casefile from our “Tales from the Shop Floor” cabinet to share a story that promises to deliver that classic CheapShow horror, disgust and amusement. And if all that isn’t enough, they throw in a few new characters too… Although you may wish they’d throw them out again soon after!

After last week’s book heavy content, Eli and Paul decide to delight your ears this week by revealing their weird little 7 inch vinyl treats! These musical curios will make you question everything you know… Well, maybe not, but they are definitely “interesting”. CheapShow peaks back into the 1970s and 80s with a selection of tracks that tickle the nostalgia bone. There is some cute New Wave “computer game” based pop music from New Zealand, The Highway Code as sung by some A Cappella vocal group, an awful ballad taken from a forgotten Pirate movie and a flexidisc containing the familiar tones of kids TV favourite, Johnny Ball! Oh… And we have a new food segment on the show now too. Apparently.

Things have been a bit full on lately, so let’s all just calm down and retreat to Paul’s Book Nook, where he stores the finest charity shop tomes. There’s been a bit of “behind the scenes” drama brewing with a few of the CheapShow Characters, so Eli is more than happy to wander down to his co-host’s cosy chamber to read a few books by the fireside. Gannon’s found a load of interesting books to show off and can’t wait to do so. It starts with a bit of a Fortean trip as the cheap chaps dive into the pages of “World Famous Weird News Stories”, then they talk too long about the various Red Dwarf publications that came out of the 1990s and finally discuss if the “Roger Moore & The Crimefighters” book can be sued for false advertising!

Although we don’t look for items from Ali Express, Wish etc, we don’t mind if our trusted audience members send us stuff from those online hives of questionable items. However, sometimes there is too much of a good thing… Or too much of a bad thing… as Paul & Eli are gifted a box that may overwhelm their price guessing senses in this Craptacular Ali Express Edition of The Price of Shite. There are over 20 (!!) knick-knacks, bits of bric-a-brac and weird curios for the Cheap Chaps to (somehow) price up for those illustrious “p’twings”! Who will come out on top, and who will be buried under a pile of crap… and does it matter? Also, if all that wasn’t enough, it seems like a CheapShow side character has been promised their own segment, which is absolutely not going to happen!

It’s one of those episodes where Paul and Eli are going to be doing a LOT of munching this week as they have a lot of food to munch on. In fact, it’s quite the potato heavy episode as most of what passes the CheapShow table is tuba root based! There are two new flavours of Walker’s crisps to sample, both of them promising new delights for your tastebuds. What will come out on top, the Sticky Teriyaki or the Masala Chicken? It’s the Cheap Chaps time to find out. After gobbling their way through all that, they’ll next tackle Seabrook’s new range of oven ready chips, based on the crisp company’s most recognizable flavours… Cheese and Onion and “Beefy”. If all that isn’t enough, Eli has discovered a new confectionary with an unusual flavour… KFC chicken? Yea. It’s an odd one alright!

It’s time to get our “Price of Shite” on in our first game of 2026! To make things a little more interesting, Paul and Eli decide to have a “face-off” edition of the classic tat pricing game. Paul has bought 3 items and so has Eli, and they will need to use all their wit, intelligence and cunning to guess the cost of each other’s charity shop discoveries. One of them will find a few truly tasty bits of tat that will amaze and amuse… the other kinda tossed it off and just went to the charity shops near where he lives. No guesses which one is which. However, who will win? That’s all that matters really, those much coveted p’twings! There is a lot at stake (well, not really!) and once again, this relatively simple game will be made into a convoluted, angry pointless conflict! It’s CheapShow time!

There is nothing weird, unsettling, off-putting or inappropriate about this show. Nope. It’s a perfectly normal thing to listen to! This week, we review some gummy snacks, a Nissin special edition instant noodle pot with a pumpkin spice twist, a Pepsi gingerbread concoction, listen to a few vinyl discoveries ranging from Disney disco to BBC story time adventures, and we also have to time to cram in a book that alleges to show you how to cheat at cards!

It’s a NEW YEAR and time for a NEW(ish) episode of CheapShow to see in 2026! So that Paul can take another week off from editing (poor tired lamb!), we’re dipping into our Patreon pocket and pulling out a podcast usually reserved for our supporters! As is custom for our “first episode of the year”, it’s time to enjoy another Nightbussin’ adventure as Paul and Eli venture into more nocturnal night bus nonsense. This week, the route is the N89 that starts in Erith, far east of London, and in towards Trafalgar Square over a staggering 21 miles! It’s the longest night bus in London and is also the route you basically have to leave London to start. As ever with Nightbussin’ it’s about whether or not Paul and Eli can get to the starting point in time and without having a meltdown. Once the journey begins, it’s all in real time, so soak up the night time ambience, take a seat at the front on the top deck and join the cheap chaps on another Nightbussin’ romp! Ding Ding!

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 - 2h 24min - 483 - Ep 467: The 7th Annual Office Christmas Party
As 2025 prepares its end, Paul and Eli turn their attention to the big yuletide knees up… The Office Christmas Party! For their 7th boozy do, Paul wants to do something a little different, at least to start! They head out to a little village pub and get a few drinks in early, before attempting to get back to “La Maison Hantee Sur La Colline A Harrow” for the party proper. To make things a little more classy than usual, Gannon’s hired a (very expensive) Butler to serve the drinks and snacks. Although “Jarvis” seems lovely enough, Eli is horribly embarrassed by Paul’s bullying treatment of the poor old man!

Mono Edition It’s Paul and Eli’s final walkabout episode of 2025 and they’ve decided to tackle the Hillingdon Trail which will take them into areas that they are very much not prepared for! In this two and bit hour epic adventure, the CheapShow chaps will attempt to traverse about 10 miles of northwest London in what may turn out to be their most trying ramble to date. They’ll have to deal with going in the wrong direction, complicated diversions, wet weather, a woodland ghost, pitch black paths, deeply muddy routes & unsure endings. That sounds like it’s going to be another awesome CheapShow walkabout episode, doesn’t it? As Christmas begins to roll in, allow Gannon & Silverman into your ears for a special yuletide quest! Woop!!

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 - 2h 17min - 480 - Ep 465: The Best Thing
Sometimes on CheapShow, things can get TOO exciting at times. This week is probably not one of those times as Paul and Eli put “thick white sliced bread” to the Off Brand/Brand Off test! Four loaves of supermarket basic white bread will be chewed and reviewed by self-proclaimed supertaster, Eli J Silverman! Which will come out on top – the name brand leader or the budget supermarket equivalent? The results may surprise you… But probably won’t. As Christmas once again looms on the horizon, Paul orders the “Grinch” McDonald’s meal to see what makes it so “grinched”. Will it just be a load of green coloured food? Probably, but at least it comes with free Grinch socks! As the year winds itself down, CheapShow marches forward!

Hey everyone! You’ll all be using the word “Quaffle” soon. All the cool kids will be spouting “Quaffle”, we guarantee it! What does it mean? Does it matter? The fact is that Paul has come up with it and he’s desperately trying to make it stick. In fact, it’s all Paul can do with week, as Eli has been promised he can talk about sauces again. In an all new Sauce Report, Mr Silverman brings along a few new discoveries that have tickled his taste buds. Oh, how exciting! Thankfully, the PO Box received a new little package packed with a whole host of oddities and curios. And Hey, you may even learn something about the UK’s first ever trivia board game and its fascinating origin! Get your Quaffle on, it’s CheapShow time!

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 - 1h 12min - 478 - Ep 463: Mess Express
Although Paul & Eli have sworn off getting anything from Temu, Ali Express or Wish, that doesn’t stop our listeners! Whether that’s for good or for ill. This week, CheapShow HQ has been sent something via the PO Box (details below) and its jam packed with Ali Express (and charity shop) treats and, in some cases, horrors. Not only do the Cheap Chaps have a few awesome presents to be grateful for (thank you Obie!), but there is an Ali Express themed “Price of Shite” to tackle. When the items can be truly random and the prices could be anything, just how many p’twings can Paul and Eli hope to get? Eli has his ideas, Paul has his own… but who will win, not only the game, but the “special prizes” on offer to the winner? It’s another tat filled audio adventure.

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 - 1h 05min - 477 - Ep 462: Munchos By Proxy
Paul threatens to reduce his word count down to 25 words this week, but Eli is desperately having none of it. He just wants a nice, normal episode of CheapShow. But when as CheapShow ever been nice and normal? On this week’s episode, Eli is obsessed with assonance and tongue-twisters for no good reason, a package from New Zealand offers a lot to munch over and Paul has discovered an old board game based on the career of UK comedian/actor Lenny Henry! Thanks to an online website called Sanza, a very kind listener to the podcast has sent CheapShow some tasty treats from New Zealand and there is a LOT to slurp, crunch and guzzle over. How will they go down with Paul and Eli? For a Gannon’s Golden Games segment, Paul has discovered a “stand up comedy” themed board game, but will playing it actually raise any laughs, or will the usual in-fighting ruin the love of the game? As ever, you’ll find out over the next 75 minutes!

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 - 1h 16min - 476 - Ep 461: 50 Words
Now that some BIG episodes of the podcast are behind them, Paul and Eli can now get back to “normal” and get stuck into some delicious “Cheap Eats” and maybe savour a musical oddity or two! They were both gifted with a few wonderful things after the live show, so let’s dive into a box of crazy candy and taste its delights. There are fizzy chocolate bars to nibble, cheesy nuts to munch and odd sour liquids to guzzle down, but will any of it be any good? When it comes to “Silverman’s Platter”, Eli’s brought along a few tracks will hopefully delight, but also completely confound. There are songs from 80s light entertainers, faux vaudeville bands and an odd medical 7” vinyl that, frankly, will get you scratching your head in confusion. So, it seems like just another regular episode of CheapShow doesn’t it? Well, a small row at the top of the show will make the rest of it incredibly one-sided… See pics/videos for this episode on our website: https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-461-50-words www.patreon.com/cheapshow If you want to get involved, email us at thecheapshow@gmail.com For all other information, please visit: www.thecheapshow.co.uk Like, Review, Share, Comment...

With Special Guests: Ria Lina & Paul Putner It’s CheapShow Live at the Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival…. Again! Paul & Eli are back on stage at The Bedford Pub, Balham for another 90 minutes of chaotic, calamitous fun! Recorded live in front of an unprepared audience, the economy comedy podcast is unleashed once more. Over the next hour and a half, the Cheap Chaps will try to cram in as much CheapShow into 3 minutes as possible, add another dead animal to its collection, resurrect some long lost segments, and slather the guests with charity shop sourced gifts. To end the show, Paul has written a play that attempts to celebrate the podcast’s decade of existence… but something unexplainable and unexpected violently shoves the show into a completely different direction! The poor guests… they didn’t deserve this!

Mono Edition After the success of last week’s Tat Hunt in Teddington, South London, Paul and Eli are now in search of a place to sit down and review the stuff they’ve purchased! The Cheap Chaps had a budget of £10 to find as much treasure amongst the Charity Shop Trash as possible and now it’s time to evaluate their discoveries. There is one HUGE problem, however. They have no idea where to go to sit down and pour through their items. What begins with a simple plan very quickly devolves into fighting, confusion, impromptu bus journey’s, altercations with security folk, a desperate search for a toilet, and the possibility that they may not have an ending to the episode! Follow Paul and Eli on another, far more aimless than usual, walkabout romp! Special Thanks to Tom from The Channel 84 Variety Show Podcast who saved this episode from a digital grave!

This is not the episode we were expecting to put out! This week SHOULD’VE been a Tat Hunt episode but a technical disaster made it impossible for us to release until the audio was rescued. With a bit of luck, next week we will have the walkabout adventure we were super happy with and sad we may have lost forever! Until then, Paul and Eli had to do something this week, so they dove back into the “recording studio” to somehow pull a new episode out of their arses! Was the effort worth it? You’ll have to be the judge of that as Paul grabs some games from his bulging sack to see if there are any that can fill ONE HOUR of real time, red hot spicy CheapShow action!

It’s an episode of extremes this week, as Eli and Paul battle through the usual segments whilst trying to deal with a whole host of new annoyances. Jimmy Biscuits and Richard Brandoff are back and trying to capitalise on their glorious return to the podcast. Paul is NOT happy to be dealing with an attic full of old and new CheapShow characters and something has to give. To make things worse, a trip to the Snack Palace reveals a very dark denouement for that particular segment. Two crisps enter, but do ANY of them leave this episode alive? Finally, there is a Price of Shite battle for the ages where Eli’s crown might just be about to slip! Can Paul make a glorious comeback? It’s time to find out.

Special Guest: Nick Helm For some reason, Nick Helm was keen to come back on to the podcast and, well, who are Paul and Eli to deny him the experience of more economy comedy catastrophe? In a more than chunky episode, Nick is subjected to numerous rants, mindless meltdown moments of madness and wade through his fair share of tat. Eli has come prepared with a bag of goodies, and quite possibly the worst joke he’s ever told in the podcast’s history. We genuinely apologise in advance. Even though Eli has brought trinkets and spicy noodles for Nick, Paul has crafted a JAWS themed “Price of Shite”, packed with shark based items to investigate and evaluate.

It’s time to get our platters out on CheapShow this week! Paul & Eli have unearthed a few comedy albums from the once popular Grumbleweeds musical troupe! Who are these gentlemen? Where they any good? Has their material aged well? Will we get annoyed listening to “There’s No Business Like Show Business” over and over and over? A quick listen to their output should answer a few of those questions! Elsewhere in this week’s episode, Paul’s got a Gannon’s Golden Games on the go and is very excited to play it. The game is an early 2000s electronic “eBay auction bidding game” and, as Eli and Paul are sadly about to find out, absolutely doesn’t work as an audio only podcast medium. Just how bad does it get?

This route, as chosen by Eli, is one they’ve been keen to do for a while and now it’s their chance to tackle the length of the New River. The New River is an artificial waterway that opened in 1613 to deliver water in towards London from Hertfordshire. There is no way in hell that the Cheap Chaps will be able to do ALL of it, as its around 20 miles, but they can do a fat chunk of the middle of it! So, join Paul & Eli as they pack up a few snacks and begin weaving their way through North London, arguing, laughing and pontification before throwing in the towel! How far do they get? Will Paul ever be correct in Eli’s eyes? Will the “self-heating” lunch work? Are jokes their forte? It’s all revealed in this epic 150 minute walkabout adventure.

Once again, the PO Box delivers a cornucopia of crap to CheapShow HQ’s door, and it’s up to Paul and Eli to price it all up… Kinda! Eli is feeling a lot more cocky and confident then usual, and he thinks that he is set for yet another mammoth victory! Paul has a HUGE box of items for an episode long Price of Shite, but although he can’t play along, he also doesn’t want to miss out on those sweet, sweet p’twings! So, Gannon devised a cunning plan. If Eli is wrong on an item’s price, Paul can score his own points. How will this effect Eli’s confidence? Will Paul cheat? We guess you’re going to have to listen to find out!

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 - 1h 02min - 463 - Ep 451: The Podcast After The Night Before
Episode 450 was a big success and Eli and Paul celebrated accordingly. Until they didn’t. Following the live stream party, Paul went way too far with the drinking and is now suffering terribly. This means that the only person driving the podcast this week is Eli, so that means Paul is going to have to suffer through another indignity of Eli’s episode manifesto. As a result, it’s going to be a sauce and snack heavy themed podcast, which maybe isn’t the best course of action for a host who feels deathly ill and nauseous. However, there is one curious note to mention… Does Paul being ill make him a better podcaster? Or is episode going to land near the bottom of “worst episodes ever” lists? We guess you will have to listen to find out!

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 - 1h 14min - 462 - Ep 450: Corrupted Data Legacy
This is it! This is Episode 450! To celebrate, Paul & Eli are putting the final touches on their CheapShow Album. However, this will lead to an adventure like no other before in the podcast’s past. TrackBot has been abused one to many times and not only does this mean the album project is in jeopardy, but the existence of CheapShow itself! There is only one way to save the day, and it involves the cheap chaps beaming INTO Trackbot and hunting through a digital landscape for a solution. It’s an odyssey that allows Paul & Eli to revisit their past and, possibly, rewrite it. They’ve got 1 hour to rescue CheapShow from the brink of annihilation… But what does it mean for the future? Probably not much!

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 - 1h 08min - 461 - Ep 449: Mumchance
After far too much time away, fair-weather co-host Ash Frith re-joins CheapShow just ahead of its 450th episode and what an episode! It’s a nice chunky one that throws Ash in at the deep end straight from the start. They’ve all got a lot to catch up on and it’s been a while since they’ve all been in the House of Sausage and Mash. It all leads to a 40 minute diversion into the sex, drugs and Rock & Roll private lives of comedians from yesteryear! It’s getting censored to F***! After that, it’s time for a classic Price of Shite and, to make things more challenging for our returning guest, Eli’s confidence and ego is off the charts. There is a mix of tat, toys and musical surprises that must be priced rightly and Paul is struggling to juggle his loyalties! One more episode until 450, it’s exciting!

Sat, 16 Aug 2025 - 1h 52min - 460 - Ep 448: Tech Talk Time
There is a slight change to the content of CheapShow this week as Paul & Eli decide to wade into the unfamiliar waters of technology. It’s an episode that begins by enjoying the joys of the past and ends with a lament as to it’s embarrassing secrets. Gannon is trying to make “Tech Talk” a new feature on the podcast and begins his crusade by pitching two retro gaming consoles to Eli. One is a reasonably expensive well-known brand, and the other is a surprisingly cheap knock off, but which will come out as the champ? And keeping on the tech talk theme, Paul decides to extol the virtues of a long dead audio format… The Minidisc! The Cheap Chaps go on a whistle stop tour of the medium, with all its pros and cons, but the episode ends with an embarrassing/adorable reveal. It seems Paul has found a minidisc with his 17 year old self on it! What is on the disc? Why don’t you listen and find out!

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 - 1h 18min - 459 - Ep 447: Ballads & Bargain Hunters
It’s a nice and simple, back to basics episode this week. We can all relax knowing that at no point will Paul & Eli be singing or inventing new characters or retreating into waves of personal verbal abuse. No siree Bob! They are searching for proper culture for this episode. Paul’s found a book to discuss and dissect for his “Page Turners” segment. He’s found a book called “Read Me Out Loud” which contains a poem for every day of the year, and he decides to pick out a few choice dates to see if there is anything inspiring for Eli to ultimately crap on. To wrap up the show, there is a new “Gannon’s Golden Game” to enjoy called “Bargain Hunter”. It’s from MB Games and challenges the Cheap Chaps to put their money where their mouths are. Can they complete their shopping list without overspending? Does this segment ever go well? Exactly… So enjoy!

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 - 1h 09min - 458 - Ep 446: Beware The Mad Monk
The events of last week’s thrilling episode have taken their toll on Paul & Eli this week. They’re so tired out, they forgot to plan something to do and to make things worse, they are not in “the zone”! Thankfully (or not), Eli has something up his sleeve to “enhance” their “performance” and it may end up giving them both a false sense of confidence. If the stuff works at all! It’s a snack packed episode anyway, with the Cheap Chaps munching through hot habanero potato rings, Japanese Kit Kats, Cheesy Takis and a fair few hot sauces too! And finally, after MANY MANY threats to the Coca Cola company, Eli has got his mitts on some Orange Cream flavoured cans! Oh, lucky day! It’s time to get our munch on.

It’s not the only thing that has come in the post either! There is a USA flavoured “Price of Shite”, or rather “Cost of Crud”, this week! The question it raises is “Can Eli continue his hot streak?” and how much will that upset Paul? It’s a P.O.S packed with trivia, tat and trinkets for Eli to gush over! Finally, we return to the often forgotten “Tales from the Shop Floor” segment with an email guaranteed to upset everyone… Which includes its author, Paul and Eli and (worst of all) CheapShow listeners.

It was a mistake to record on one of the very hottest days of the year. However, the show must go on, even if involves sitting in a small room as the heat melts Paul & Eli’s brains. Paul does have a plan though! He reckons after a slew of epic length episodes; they can afford to throw out another “real time” 60 minute romp that should make everyone happy. As an extra bonus, because it’s so ruddy sweltering, why not spend the episode drinking nice, cold and hopefully refreshing drinks that have recently come their way? It’s a win/win. Let’s just hope these drinks are worthy of quaffing during a heatwave and aren’t a bunch of cheap, nasty bottles of garbage. And what’s this? A new character?

Special Guest: Ria Lina CheapShow is dabbling in a “little bit of politics” this week when Paul and Eli are joined by special guest, Ria Lina! In a new “Gannon’s Golden Games” segment, Paul pulls out a board game based on the topical comedy panel show “Have I Got News For You!”, so luckily the politics and news stories only go up to 2005. Who wins will be anyone’s guess! There is also the added bonus that Ria has appeared on HIGNFY herself, so will her experience help her in an off the cuff board game version of the 34 year old TV show? The answer is probably not. Elsewhere in the episode, Ria must take the rites of passage that all first time guests must endure… a classic Price of Shite with Gannon going all out on the tat. How will she fare? Will Eli go easy on the first timer? Can Paul ever be trusted ever again?

Somehow, someway, CheapShow has lasted a full decade. Ten whole years of tat and treasure, rants and raves, and adventure and abhorrent behaviour across 440 wonderfully mucky episodes! To celebrate the past 3652.5 days of economy comedy, Paul and Eli are doing exactly what you expect them to do… Drink an unnecessarily large amount of booze and bask in their own genius! Over the course of the next three hours, you’ll bear witness to the moral degradation of the hosts as the alcohol begins to corrode their ability to host the podcast. The plan had been to talk about the past ten years, reflect on their favourite episodes and read the kind thoughts and feelings of the CheapShow audience. This soon becomes a major problem, with each email and memory stamped on with drunken buffoonery. In fact, let’s be blunt, Paul has shamed himself this week and Eli has absolutely encouraged it. If you can stomach the ideas of your heroes falling apart over 179 minutes, well, you must be a glutton for punishment. All we can say is Paul and Eli are VERY SORRY for what you’re about to listen to!

There is only ONE WEEK left until CheapShow turns 10 years old! A magnificent achievement considering Paul and Eli didn’t think the show was last 50 episodes. All they have to do this week is survive one very simple edition of The Price Of Shite without fighting, threats, verbal violence and underhanded behaviour. If they can do that, then maybe all will be OK. Sadly, it’s not looking good for the Cheap Chaps as the show starts very badly and ends in absolute shock and outrage. Paul is desperately trying to make a rock band name word mean something funny, Eli is trying to become a joke-smith by crafting an equally as desperate gag and The Tales From The Dancefloor rubs them both up the wrong way. The big question is whether Paul and Eli’s friendship will survive the next 70 minutes! PRE-ORDER The CheapShow Album, celebrating 10 years of the podcast!

This week, Paul and Eli are dipping their toes into the murky waters of “Silverman’s Platters” to review three strange musical charity shop discoveries. There is quite the variety ranging from cheesy Dutch Moog arrangements to soul sapping ballads sung by a soap opera loser! There is even time for a dash of post-punk novelty too. Which will be a “platter” and which will be a “splatter”? Only time will tell. There is also the opportunity to revisit an often neglected segment, “Tales From The Shop Floor” which promises the usual confounding stories with the usual dirty denouement. Whilst it’s the same economy comedy as usual, there is a lot of emotional manipulation at play. Eli is forced into making more than his fair share of apologies and Paul is in full on gaslighting b*stard mode, which can never end well. ALSO: We launch the pre-orders for the CheapShow Album, celebrating 10 years of the podcast!

Fri, 23 May 2025 - 1h 07min - 446 - Ep 436: The Award Winning Podcast
Somehow, against all the odds, CheapShow has finally won something! Paul & Eli are in high spirits this week as they celebrate their recent “Golden Lobes” podcast awards win! It was a fantastic moment that was only 10 years in the making. This success probably won’t go to their heads. At all. It’s a bit of a wordy episode this week, as Paul is supplying two books for his “Page Turners” segment. His charity shop discoveries involve one book based on the kids TV show “Bangers & Mash”, and the other is a story puzzle book from the legendary “Usbourne Publishing”. The Cheap Chaps dive into them both to learn more, and if you are lucky, you’ll get some story time action from Eli himself! Finally, Gannon pulls out another “Golden Game” to play. For this edition, he’s brought along an electronic game based on the popular 1980s ITV game show “Name That Tune”. Sadly, as in most episodes, Eli will find a way to ruin the fun. Whether that’s by pretending to be a Scouser or by simply opening his mouth and letting the madness spill out. No matter how dumb or gross this week’s podcast is, remember it won a ruddy award! Unbelievable!

Fri, 16 May 2025 - 1h 15min - 445 - Ep 435: Chekhov's Gum
It’s been a month of walkabout adventures, game shows and another character retrospective, so it’s about time that Eli and Paul got back into CheapShow HQ for another 75 minutes of cheap laughs! It’s a “back to basics” episode where Eli gets to have his way with the content, forcing more sauces and snacks into the show than Paul can tolerate. CheapShow gets to sample a new and unusual flavour of Pringles that has a high bar to clear, there is a nice Price of Shite to amuse and bemuse and (because Eli demanded it) the episode closes out with a bumper Sauce Report. It’s taken us a little longer than expected, but we finally have our hands on the “Peperami” sausage brand of hot sauces that demand judgement! It’s a tat packed show with grotty toys, naff books and did someone mention something about gummies?

MONO EDITION When the sun is shining this brightly in the London sky, Paul and Eli refuse to stay cooped up inside CheapShow HQ… So, they are out and about (yes again!) to go on an aimless wander through another corner of London. This time they’ve decided, for no good reason, to explore Nunhead Cemetery, one of London’s “Magnificent 7” cemeteries. It’s a gothic, spooky, heavily wooded area packed with tombs, crypts, gravestones and unusually named deceased folk. As they stroll about, they’ll aim to be respectful but at some point, Eli will want to get the booze out and Paul will want to get the hell out of the place… And once they reach Peckham Rye Common, things will get a little bit more unhinged. In possibly one of CheapShow’s more directionless walkabout episodes, join the Cheap Chaps on one of the warmest and sunniest days of the year… in a ruddy graveyard!

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 - 2h 36min - 438 - Ep 430: The Cost Of Crud
After two weeks away in America, Eli arrives back in one piece and ready to go with a grab bag of tat and tasty treats to foist upon his co-host. He’s brought with him a few snacks to wrap their tongues around and a special USA flavoured “Price of Shite” … Sorry, “The Cost of Crud”, as Eli would prefer to call it. To make matters more pointless, he decides that points are not “p’twings” this week and instead they are “p’twangs”. Whatever they are, Gannon wants them, and he’s going to try his very best. However, Paul may have gone a bit doolally whilst he had no co-host for a while, so please bear that in mind as he continuously threatens Eli with his “Chobber”. What is this “Chobber” of which he speaks? I mean, it’s obvious, right? But you better listen in just to check.

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 - 40min - 436 - Ep 428: The Podcast Killaz
Cor Blimey, it's another "real time" episode of the podcast as Paul & Eli try to cram a meaty Price of Shite game into 60 mins. Eli is off to America to celebrate his 50th birthday and so Paul has requested an easy edit, so it’s time for another uncut, rambling and ranting edition of the economy comedy podcast. Thanks to another PO Box delivery, they have plenty to wade though to score those delicious p’twings! There’s some kitchenware, more Chas N Dave music, some games and a hideous piece of houseware destined for the bin! Not only all that but Paul & Eli manage to squeeze in a quick game of 1980s TV trivia too. It’s a big, stuffed, typically manic episode of CheapShow that Eli better not ruin with his “podcast killing” behaviour!

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 - 1h 05min - 435 - Ep 427: Non Stop Noodles
Oh Boy Howdy have we got noodles for you this week! Eli is frothing with anticipation because he’s got three cup noodles to blitz through AND he’s managed to get his little claws on two new noodle/pasta hybrid meals. Paul is going to just have to deal with the onslaught of instant noodle goodness that is coming his way. They’ll be sampling some vile Pickled Onion Super Noodles, guzzling down some spicy hot Kim Chi Jjigae broth and see what the Squid Game licenced Rice Cakes in Sweet and Spicy sauce is like. Once that’s been tasted and tested, the Cheap Chaps are moving on to a new line of food from Samyang called Tangle. It seems to be an instant noodle meets Italian pasta hybrid thing that can’t taste as weird as it sounds, right? However, if you fear its all noodle, all the time, then don’t worry as we have a brilliant new character making a debut. Even Eli approves! Who is Dicky Churdlington and what’s his top tip for the races this weekend? As ever, you have to listen to find out!

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 - 57min - 434 - Ep 426: Donna Egg & The Bad Boys
After last week’s epic walkabout/Gannon’s Golden Games hybrid episode, it’s time to calm things down again. What this episode doesn’t need is violent meltdowns, stupid new characters, an appalling improvised song and useless conversational tangents… Sadly that’s exactly what you can expect in this week’s edition of the economy comedy podcast. It’s a simple enough set up with snacks, drinks and a Price of Shite from the PO Box. Over the course of the hour, Paul and Eli will drink milky booze, Minecraft Doritos, stare at arses, improvise songs over small electronic fidget toy music and muse over some new noodles. It’s good comfort food podcasting at CheapShow HQ and with the added bonus of introducing the world to Donna Eggs, who’ll solve ALL our problems!

With Special Guest: Stuart Ashen They didn’t mean this episode to be as long as it was. This wasn’t meant to be the epic episode it became, honest! They just thought they’d pop into Norwich, record a bit of a walkabout and then meet with guest Stuart Ashen for a quick Gannon’s Golden Games. Instead, it became something much bigger than planned. Join Paul and Eli has they take a trip to Norwich, tackling national rail inconveniences, exploring charity shops and going for a wander in the Plantation Gardens. And, oh yes, they need to record with Stuart too! They’ve got to record a whole episode of CheapShow at Ashen’s grotto and tackle a very special Gannon’s Golden Games! The amazing Ivenne has sent the podcast a complete, vintage boardgame based on the infamous Japanese TV game show, Takeshi’s Castle! They’ll learn a little bit about the show’s colourful history before diving into the boardgame itself. Will it delight and amuse, or will it annoy and frustrate? How do you even make a game out of an incredibly elaborate TV Show anyway? Sadly, Ashens is about to find out they hard way, and Eli is out to win it by any means necessary. Just thank god we haven’t called this episode “Normski’s Knob!” You’ll find out why… See pics/videos for this episode on our website: https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-425-the-great-takeshi-s-castle-caper And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow If you want to get involved, email us at thecheapshow@gmail.com And if you want to, follow us on Twitter/X @thecheapshowpod or @paulgannonshow & @elisnoid www.thecheapshow.co.uk Now on Threads: @cheapshowpod Like, Review, Share, Comment...

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 - 2h 24min - 432 - Ep 424: The Candy Cave
Sometimes Paul and Eli make mistakes, and that’s fine. That’s part of the cut and thrust of making CheapShow. However, sometimes they need to ask themselves just how many mistakes they should really be making in one episode alone. This week, they make a lot. Eli annoys Paul right from the start and the resulting fall out will only prolong their collective agony. Things begin innocently enough with two new chutneys to sample that both prove to be incredibly hot mommas! It gets a bit wobbly when Eli reveals his cheap soft drinks that all prove to be much less than they’d hoped. The BIG cock up arrives when Paul invites a new character along to monitor the cheap sweets segment. One distressing conversation later and Paul and Eli wake up in a cave and are forced to gobble horrible candies AND make a bloody Poppets based cookie? What’s going on?!

With Special Guest: Nick Helm Holy F***! Comedy starlet Nick Helm is back on CheapShow and he isn’t messing about. He joins Paul and Eli at the Soho Radio Podcast Studios for what turns out to be 90 minutes of rants, shouting, repulsion, audio torture and awkward conversations. Once again, Eli seems to be feeling poorly as he croaks and squeaks through the recording session. The upshot of this is that he develops the most adorable laugh we’ve ever heard. As for Paul, he’s a bit grumpy before things even kick off and his inability to control his co-host and his guest will drain the life from his soul. As for Nick, he’s has to endure some unusually flavoured crisps from Finland, Kit Kats from Japan, the Rambo themed music of an ex-BBC radio presenter (no, not that one) and a party game that is only going to make the already volatile atmosphere worse!

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 - 1h 30min - 430 - Ep 422: Tat Hunt: Scrumptious Tat
Last week, Paul and Eli gave themselves the challenge of finding six typical pieces of CheapShow tat in just a few hours, in the charity shops of Watford High Street. This week… they are going to share and review their findings. It’s a little more random than usual as the items range from the mundane to the bizarre. Along the way, they’ll bounce from toy cars to kitsch porcelain statues, via 1980s light entertainers and cheesy dance party albums. After an exhausting day of CheapShowing, the cheap chaps are finding it hard to find the right words, so they decide to invent a load of new ones instead! Who got the best tat, who failed the task? You decide! (But you don’t really decide. Just listen in.) It’s time for Tat Hunt: Watford High Street Part Two.

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 - 1h 02min - 429 - Ep 421: Tat Hunt: Watford High Street
It’s time for another “Tat Hunt” episode, we think. It’s been too long, that’s for sure. This week, Paul and Eli take to the mean streets of Watford to scour the charity shops for 6 items to bring into next week’s charity shop item face-off! In CheapShow’s history, most of the items discovered in charity shops fall into six categories and it’s up to the Cheap Chaps to rustle them up in a few hours beating the streets. They need to find a Book, a Game, a Toy, some Kitchenware, a Trinket and a Party Album, but time it tight and the weather is awful. Will Paul and Eli discover some amazing bargains or fumble their assignment pathetically? Whatever happens, expect the usual carnage that only CheapShow can deliver!

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 - 1h 03min - 428 - Ep 420: Four Twenty
It’s been promised for a long time, but as it’s episode 420, it makes sense for Paul and Eli to finally tackle a topic that celebrates the joy and pain of enjoying weed. Whatever you call it, Weed. Marijuana. Bud. Grass. Ganja. Nug. Reefer. Mary Jane. Blunt. Dank. Hashish. Doobie. Pot, CheapShow is talking about it. It’s no secret that the Cheap Chaps enjoy smoking weed, but in this slightly different episode, they’re going to talk about their relationship and personal history with it. The literal highs and cringe inducing lows. From first and worst experiences, to tangents, anecdotes and facts – CheapShow is surprisingly candid this week, but also reassuringly stupid too. Come along with CheapShow for an episode that will definitely go up in smoke before the mind wobbling finale. Beware the Fakir’s Noose! Important: This episode tackles the topic of drugs, personal use and honest, personal opinions on cannabis. We not celebrating or condemning it, just talking about our own experiences. Thanks for listening! Listener discretion is advised!

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 - 1h 34min - 427 - Ep 419: Genital Snacks
It’s Snack Time again on CheapShow and Paul and Eli have been luckily gifted with some treats from Austria! They have multi-flavoured wafers, garlic crisps, gummies, chocolate treats and fizzy drinks to guzzle and enjoy… But there is also something looming in the background, waiting to show its face… A snack CheapShow promised to eat a long time ago but could never get their hands on. They both hoped you’d forgotten about them, but one PO Box donation later, and the Cheap Chaps will finally have to face eating those “Dick” and “Pussy” flavoured crisps. What the hell do genital snacks even taste like? Sadly, Paul and Eli are about to find out. To make things worse, there is a Doctor Gustav lurking too, desperate to see everyone’s bum hole. Is this week’s episode a new low? There is only one way, sadly, to find out… See pics/videos for this episode on our website: https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-419-genital-snacks And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow If you want to get involved, email us at thecheapshow@gmail.com And if you want to, follow us on Twitter/X @thecheapshowpod or @paulgannonshow & @elisnoid www.thecheapshow.co.uk Now on Threads: @cheapshowpod Like, Review, Share, Comment...

Fri, 17 Jan 2025 - 1h 07min - 426 - Ep 418: Congas, Crocs & Wallys
It’s been a while since Paul & Eli grabbed their 7 inches and pleasured your ears with their meaty musical musings. It’s time to see what odd audio discoveries they’ve found in another vinyl Platter Spectacular. There are six tracks to listen to this week, ranging from the wonderful to the woeful! Featuring such delights as dancing crocodiles, Atari themed ballads, rude remixes and conga line party hits! It’s a proper weird mix of music and, as if that wasn’t enough, there is the return of the tragic TrackBot. However, Paul has a plan to help the robot out from his usual mucky misfortune, but will it work? It’s music time!!

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 - 1h 23min - 425 - Ep 417: Nightbussin' SL7
Paul and Eli are still recovering from their New Year’s celebrations so, to give you a Friday fix of CheapShow, they’re opening up the Patreon vault to deliver another thrilling edition of “Nightbussin”. It’s the Patreon exclusive podcast that sees the cheap chaps picking a London Night Bus route and travelling along its whole length! In 2024 they chose the Super Loop bus, the SL7, which travels from West Croydon in the South of the capital all the way round to Heathrow Airport in the West. It’s also one of the longest bus routes you can take! However, in this particular episode, there is serious doubt whether they’ll actually get to the Bus in time! It’s a mix of travelogue and “real time” psychogeography musings. Journey with Paul and Eli for another laid back Night Bus romp that mixes the dumb with the delightful!
