Paul reopens his candy store this week and invites Eli in to sample his latest sweet offerings. Surprisingly, they’ve never covered jellies before (or jams, if you prefer) and they thought they’d look for the cheapest to see if they pass muster. Will a Vimto or Slush Puppie jelly be any good, or will they be embarrassed by the Hartley’s brands? CheapShow intends to find out! It’s also been a while since we last had a Tales from the Shop Floor on the show and so the cheap chaps dip their toes into another tale of woe from the world of commerce. Before you think that this all seems pretty normal, bear in mind that in this episode, Eli tries to convince his new “mink” character isn’t a total embarrassment and Paul would rather come up with a load of mucky James Bond film baddies. Bloody idiots.

Ep 327: Silversquirt

When it comes to cup noodles, we sometimes wonder if they are so preoccupied with whether of not they could make wild new flavours and didn’t stop to think if they should. On this week’s CheapShow, Paul and Eli are about to find out if Nissin’s Cup Noodles have gone too far. Can a “breakfast flavoured” noodle be anything other than disgusting muck? Will Nissin’s winning streak finally end on this very episode? You are going to have to listen to find out! Before they can dive in, the Cheap Chaps have a few choice vinyl platters to wade though first. There’s an odd collection of music curios to sample, with offerings from Smiths Crisps, The Bolton Bullfrog and a reggae track packed with farts! This is definitely a weirdo week… and Paul and Eli’s egos may be getting the better of them too!

Ep 330: The Pork Open

What’s all this then? Everything is back to front on this week’s episode. Instead of Eli, Paul is going to be the Super Taster in Off Brand/Brand Off. Can Paul pick out the HP Sauce amongst a few imitators? It’s a proper saucy romp as there are surprises abound in this battle of the brown sauces! Later in the show, Gannon’s Golden Games becomes Eli’s Excellent Entertainments as it is Mr Silverman who has discovered the board game! They both get to dabble in a bit of nostalgia as they try to wrap their heads around the rules for the Dad’s Army game, based on the very popular 1970s BBC sitcom. However, there is one draw back to having the hosts swap roles… Eli’s is going to get a taste of his own medicine, and Paul’s playing doctor!

Ep 331: Brown Sauce

Has Eli finally met his match? Usually, he only has to fend off the annoyances of ONE Paul, but this week, he is up against THREE! Mr Gannon is joined by Paul Rose (Mr Biffo) and returning guest, Paul Putner! The much-loved comedian and actor returns to the CheapShow fray for a bumper Charity Shop Showcase and a Price of Shite with real, terrifying stakes. Over the course of 90 minutes, you’ll hear tales of showbiz woes, listen to what went on with “Knife and Wife”, discuss the secrets of The Bill and drown in a sea of weird “exercise and healthy living” 12-inch LPs. From Slim Goodbody to Sesame Street Live, via tiny toys, classic comedy sketches, Star Wars anecdotes and video game guides… It all leads to a thunderous and fiery climax! It’s going to get rowdy!

With Special Thanks to @noiselund for the “Charity Shop Showcase” Theme!

Ep 333: Three Pauls And A Silverman

In Episode 310, all those months ago, Paul and Eli attempted to complete the whole of the Celandine Walk in 6 hours. They absolutely failed and had to abandon the walk because Eli had somewhere better to be, apparently! However, this failure got under their skin, and they decided that they both need closure. This week, the Cheap Chaps decide to finish off what they started and endeavour to complete that walk, taking them from Swakeleys Park to the Grand Union Canal in Cowley. That means there is a good five miles of walking ahead of them! Along the way, they decide to also cram in another modular “Price of Shite” and guess the prices of seven weird and wonderful charity shop finds. Who will win the most “p’twings” by the end of the journey? Why do they keep getting lost? What happens when they run out of places to walk to and who smokes too much and nearly whites out? Find out in this bumper walkabout edition of CheapShow!

Ep 334: The Walk Men (A Ball Of Chalk Part Two)

There is a lot going on at the moment. Paul and Eli (but mostly Paul) are organising Urinevision 2023 (live on YouTube Friday 2nd June at 8pm GMT!) but Paul hasn’t got the time to mess about with all that “editing business”, so they’re going to deliver one of their patented “real time” episode. No cuts, no retakes, just 60 minutes of raw CheapShow action that dives into cheap spicy noodles, some limited edition flavoured soft drinks and, unfortunately, some bloody Durian Cookies. Obviously, this means this episode can’t end well. Will their stomachs survive the episode? Find out as the Cheap Chaps slap on the lapel mics and go a-wanderin’ around Eli’s abode. OH! We also announce the 10 finalists for Urinevision 2023 too! Listen in and find out if your track was lucky/unlucky enough to make it to the live show!
Link below to head to CheapShow’s YouTube page to see the live “extravaganza”!

Ep 335: Down and Out in The House of Pickles

The sun is out and Paul and Eli have no intention of recording this week’s episode indoors. Rather than sweat it out in the House of Pickles, Paul recommends a wander around Stanmore Country Park and Eli willingly agrees. After all the drama of Urinevision 2023, a nice relaxing walk in the woods of North London seems like the perfect antidote the cheap chaps desperately need. Over the course of one long, hot Summer’s day, Paul and Eli will tackle cheesy cheap eats, they’ll attempt to value some Transformers themed Price of Shite items, Paul will discover that wearing shorts and traversing nettle bushes don’t mix and Eli will become obsessed with the word “pasturey”. Expect the usual arguments, confusing comedic scenarios and, with a bit of luck, a swing to have an accident on! Join us on a sunny day walk that will absolutely, positively be blessed with good fortune…

Oh and stick around at the end of the episode for a new track from Noiselund:
“Good Boy (Whistle in the Wind)”

Ep 337: Cow's Parsley & Lamb's Lettuce

What’s wrong with putting a little happiness into the world? Nothing really, but when its folksy positivity is hiding a veneer of corporate soullessness, it’s hard to really get behind those good, life affirming vibes. Paul and Eli discover this the hard way when they attempt to play the “Chicken Soup For The Soul” board game. Will the game bring out the joy of sharing, friendship and laughter, or will it lead to miserable, bitter arguments? If you’ve heard the podcast before, you’ll probably have a fair idea on where this will go… Although you do get a damned fine story from Eli about his brush with cinema glamour, so it’s not a complete loss. As for Paul, he’s lined up a new bunch of tasty contestants for entry into the hallowed Snack Palace. Will any of the crisps chosen make it into the luxury of this abode, festooned with towels? Does it really matter? CheapShow will decide arbitrarily anyway, you just know it.

Ep 339: Chicken Soup For The Hole

There are charity shop goodies galore on CheapShow this week when the Showcase rolls back into town. Paul and Eli have both found a little something special/unusual and have brought it along to CSHQ for discussion and evaluation. We “once again” get to hear about Eli’s upsetting obsession with Tomy toys and Paul “once again” dives into Saturday Morning TV for his own quirky offering. Grown men should not get this excited over pointless nostalgia that isn’t even theirs to remember! There’s a return to the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab Kitchen with an instant noodle that invokes fond memories and minor embarrassment for Eli too. Paul just wants him to shut up and get on with it. There is also a long-awaited tales from the Shop Floor with a particularly stinky celebrity encounter! Eli may have been given a pre-show dressing down, but can he really behave himself when Paul is acting like a proper prick… and will either of them ever get to nail the cold open this week? Why not listen to them try?

Ep 342: Gannon's Golden Quest The Third (STEREO)

Some week’s Paul and Eli can afford to take it easy. After the exertions of last week’s epic Golden Quest, it’s probably for the best that they let someone else do the hard work of building an episode. Thankfully, there is a PO Box delivery from listeners Karen and Adam that does all the heavy lifting. Inside (amongst other things) is a carefully curated mix of cheap eats and a pretty solid selection of Price of Shite items. What will they make of the Ketchup crisps, pretzel pieces and Blue Ball Bonbons is anyone’s guess, but the biggest question is who will reign victorious and get the most p’twings in the Price of Shite? The important thing to remember is that despite the open goal they’ve been given, Paul and Eli will find a way to ruin it for themselves. Typical!

Ep 343: An Episode In A Box

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!
