Talking of things dragging on, we're 20 minutes into this episode and theres been fuck all worth listening to. And on Urine Vision, there's a content black hole if ever there was one.

Indeed. I saw him live once and he was pretty off the wall.

Sometimes you look at the world and think “God, it’s pretty shit out there!”, so this week on CheapShow, Paul and Eli dive into a book that hopes to inspire positivity and some warm nostalgic cuddles. Along the way, they talk about the joys of dunking biscuits in tea, the random beauty of the lost property office and the childhood joy of penny sweets and pick n mix candy memories. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? So, it’s a shame all that goodwill goes out of the window the minute Paul pulls out the QI board game based on the TV show of the same name. Then it all gets very ugly… and that’s after the ongoing friction of those CheapShow “knock off” characters establishing a new club and Eli’s appalling attempts to reboot the jingles. Oh dear, indeed!

Ep 292: Quite Uninteresting

Sometimes an innocent enquiry can lead to a cavalcade of outrage, and this week on CheapShow, a simple test throws everything Paul and Eli know out the window. It’s a question they’ve posed in the past on the show, does how you prepare a good old British cup of tea matter? Does it really effect the taste? It’s time to put it to the test… and the results may be pleasantly surprising to some, and absolutely disgusting to others. Will you respect the results or call for blood? To calm the rage, we also have a chunky Silverman’s Platter to share with a dip into the world of “break-in” records, novelty songs about Jaws and the braggadocio of early rap artists. It’s quite the episode, and that’s before we even get to mentioning Paul tries to pitch a sequel to Clankerman to Eli! How will he take it? As ever, listen and learn!

Ep 302: Tea!

Mono Edition
Happy Halloween! …And welcome to a rather troubling episode of CheapShow.
This edition of the economy comedy podcast has been pieced together from the recording equipment and audio footage that was found abandoned in a dirty back alley earlier this week.
During the early weeks of October 2022, Paul and Eli attempted to record their Halloween episode for that year. Tragically, that recording session was abandoned and the “Incident on Harbet Road” will never be publicly shared… for now.
In a desperate attempt to get something out for Halloween, Paul and Eli tagged along with Mr Biffo and Sanja for a “Digitiser’s Supernatural World” film shoot at a haunted sweet shop in Chatham, owned by a chap called Dan Does Crafts…
The whole film crew slowly succumbed to an uninvited evil and, as of the publication of this episode, have yet to be found. Their whereabouts are still a terrifying mystery.
What follows is an upsetting and, at times, disconcerting document of what happened on that fateful night, October 24th, 2022.
And with that, we present this week’s episode…

Ep 305: Little Sweet Shop of Horrors (Mono Edition)

It’s the start of another year. As 2023 rolls in, Paul just isn’t in the mood to go back to making podcasts. As a result, Eli is going to have to do something a little different this week to get Paul in the right frame of mind. What Eli has planned is to have Paul, in a twist to the usual format, take the blind taste test challenge in a round of Off Brand/Brand Off… Or is it Brand Off/Off Brand? Ash Frith brought a few “knock off” gummies to the Xmas party, but now the cheap chaps have the chance to test them against the real thing. Will Paul be able to guess the Percy Pigs from the Leo Lions and the Twinnies from the Squashies? Elsewhere in the podcast, there are a few other Xmas party leftovers to sample; a bag of Lay’s “Pizza Hut” crisps and a tin of Mountain Dew “VooDew”. Yup, it’s definitely a “let’s eat the leftovers” kind of a show!
Happy New Year!

Ep 314: The Mini Milk Manoeuvre

Every now and then it’s good to change things up and break free from the old routine, and Paul is excited to do that this week, because he has a brand-new segment to show off. He’s called it the “Charity Shop Showcase” and allows them the chance to talk about charity shop items that may not fit into the show’s usual fun and games. Eli admits it’s a strong new segment, but the merriment won’t last long. There’s also some brand-new sodas to try out and this week it’s an international affair with drinks from Denmark, China and Russia. Which one will be top of the pops? Finally, it’s time to tackle a bugbear of Paul’s (one of MANY this episode) as CheapShow takes on the “Bread” board game. A game based on a 1980s BBC sitcom that you will soon discover Paul has some major problems with. Will the game kill Paul and Eli’s faith in humanity? Spoilers: Yes.
Happy New Year!

Ep 315: Charity Shop Showcase

If there is one thing we love on CheapShow, it’s snacks… and crisps! This week, we have more crisps than we know what to do with, when a tub of “Spudos” is delivered to the PO Box! What is “Spudos”? Well, it’s a big plastic tub filled with plain crisps and comes with an assortment of flavours to sprinkle on. It’s basically an elaborate “Salt N’ Shake”! Will Paul and Eli embrace this strange service, or will they reject its advances? In the Silverman’s Platter, Eli unearths a McDonald’s branded vinyl album that encourages children  to count and spell along with Ronald and his wacky friends. It’s… odd. One last thing. We’ve added a new cryptid to the show. Sorry about that.

Ep 317: Spud Dust

Get your taste buds ready, because Paul and Eli are going to be noshing on a range of tongue-tingling yet sometimes stomach-churning cheap eats! There has been another delivery to CheapShow HQ and this one is packed with delicious, unusual jelly candies. In fact one is so unusual, more time is spent playing with it than eating it. It’s an odd mix of gummies that apparently want to be toys more than edible treats. Luckily, this must mean that there is a new Froth Shop opening! Huzzah…sorta! There is a return to a “Tales from the Shop Floor” when Paul recounts a recent strange encounter in a local charity shop. Luckily, the incident makes for a good story and a nice little Lego discovery. Finally, it’s another “Noodle Pot Blitz” to end the show. After some online badgering, the cheap chaps cave in and purchase a “Donor Kebab Pot Noodle”. Will it surprise them with its tasty goodness, or will it be hot, sloppy muck? I think we kinda already know the answer to that one… OH MOTHER!!!

Ep 318: Top Notch Western Romance

They swore they’d never go back to Brent Cross. After their first adventure (Ep 104 Malltwats), Paul and Eli agreed that there was never going to be a reason to return. What would be the point? However, when they discover that the Brent Cross Shopping Centre now has a “Charity Supermarket” within its walls, it looks like CheapShow has no choice but to go back. They should have stayed away. What begins as a merry jaunt into North London, VERY quickly gets derailed and becomes one long disaster. It’s an episode of confusion, confrontation, and frustration. This could be CheapShow’s worst walkabout episode. Or it’s best? Why not listen and find out?

Ep 320: Brent Crosspocalypse Now

After the disastrous events of last week, things return to normal for this week’s episode. Whatever normal means. It’s a music heavy episode as we take a trip to Silverman’s Platter to investigate some novelty pop songs from bygone times. They investigate Hanna-Barbera inspired rap, endure some space themed disco, and then brave the contents of “The World’s Worst Record Show” album, that has some truly troubling tracks. We apologise in advance for what you will hear. There is also time for a quick Gannon’s Golden Games, based on an old TV format. However, Eli may have truly ruined the segment forever and Paul is close to throwing in the towel. It’s all a bit of a shambles this week. OH! And we launch Urinevision 2023 too! Which is nice.

Ep 325: Mrs Miller and The Stardust Cowboy

The League of Snacks (and Crisps) is dead! Long Live “Snax Starz”, the exciting new replacement segment for 2023! It was meant to be a simpler premise, but as ever on CheapShow, things get complicated, and all of a sudden there are snack palaces, anthropomorphised crisps and a pool house. This week’s inductee is the much-requested Doritos Burger King Flame Grilled Whopper flavour. As you can imagine, it goes about as well as expected. Eli has some brand-new Tales from the Dance Floor stories to tell and to say Paul is unimpressed is a major understatement and rubs him up the wrong way. Finally, Eli is excited to head back to the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab Kitchen with a cheeky little noodle he’s been dying to sample. Of course Paul ruins it with a new character, but thankfully for Eli, said character ends up breaking Paul’s brain! Good. He deserves it!

Ep 326: Snax Starz

It’s a particularly volatile episode this week as Paul is in a proper mood and Eli is absolutely not in the mood for it. Hopefully the addition of a mountain of cheap sweet treats is enough to calm the situation down somewhat. In this episode, it’s a Sweet Shop special with a weird and wonderful assortment of candies to chow down on. From chalky chews to gummy disasters, from sweet delights to sour wonders, the Cheap Chaps try them all. Just be mentally ready to hear Paul swallow salty balls, eat money and gobble down spunk. It’s that kind of show. Thankfully, Eli gets to try an exciting new flavour of crisps unfamiliar to his palate. What will he make of a Kebab snack? You’ll have to find out! More importantly, when is he going to get tired of Paul’s bull****? It’s longer than you expect.

Ep 332: Spunk!

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!
