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!

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

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!

Ep 335: Down and Out in The House of Pickles

It’s back and it’s bigger then ever! Urinevision returns for another epic night of music and madness with 10 brand new, weird and wonderful songs submitted by the CheapShow listening audience. There are also 10 celebrity judges who will cast their ears over the tracks on offer and give their well-considered and honest opinions… and more importantly, their scores. Who will win, the only way to find out is to listen to the latest ambitious edition of the economy comedy podcast. Or you can watch the whole event on YouTube (link below) if you prefer your eyes to get all the fun. It’s Paul and Eli’s biggest Urinevision to date and they are joined by Mr Biffo and Sanja who’ll offer their expertise on all the music you’ll hear during the show. They’ve even managed to bad celebrity judge Ethan Lawrence too, which is exciting. Hopefully. However, as ever with CheapShow, there is always something tragic on the horizon and this year, a BIG scandal is going to rear its ugly head meaning bad times are ahead for Gannon… Again. Listen & Enjoy!

Ep 336: Urinevision 2023

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

After a few weeks of song contests, real time episodes and walkabout adventures, Paul and Eli are back in the House of Sausage and Eggs for some wholesome and earthy cheap and cheerful segments. They’ve found some proper discount snacks this week, tasting a range of budget bites and fizzy delights. There’s an Irish Monster Munch knock-off to sample, something a little tasty for instant noodleheads, a traditional potato snack with a confounding gimmick and a soft drink from India that is more fascinating than the cheap chaps first think! Sadly, any joy taken from these nibbles will be sapped away in the Silverman’s Platter segment. It unleashes three truly soul crushing audio oddities that range from the saccharine to the outright offensive. Can you survive these vinyl record hellscapes? Paul and Eli are barely able to! Despite all of this, one question remains… Who Am The Panty Man? You’ll regret asking, that’s for sure.
Actually no… One more question! Who the hell puts a serial killer’s painting for sale in a charity shop?

Ep 338: Who Am The Panty Man?

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?

If you thought Sir Salty Freshone was a strange excuse for a brave knight, wait until you hear from his nemesis, Lord Peppery Rancid! Over the course of nearly two hours, Eli and Ethan will need to use their lightening fast reactions, their speed and agility as well as their wits and their tastebuds. This quest will push them all to the limit and as they creep deeper into the forest, they may also lose their minds a little too! Join us for yet another, more epic, Gannon’s Golden Quest!

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

There are plenty of peculiar tunes to soak up this week on CheapShow. The segment may be called Silverman’s Platter, but on this edition of the podcast, Paul’s brought along a few interesting records to listen to. A song based on popular TV show “Minder” and styled after Chas N Dave brings Paul and Eli’s attention to the work of The Firm, a music group that churned out one of the 1980s biggest novelty pop hits. Apparently, they had a whole album, so the cheap chaps take a quick tour of their output. There is also a strange album to listen to that was designed to help raise fund for children’s charity NSPCC in 1984. It’s packed with some obvious and not so obvious celebrities from the period, but we focus on Dennis Waterman’s rock n roll Lollipop song and Felicity Kendall’s moog flavoured ditty about fairies! It’s also time to return to the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab International Cuisine Kitchen with a few instant noodles that are new to Eli’s palate. Mr Silverman takes on a Lucky Me beef bone marrow treat and whatever the hell a “Milky Me” is! To make things more interesting, Paul and Eli also have got their own deities in small boxes. This isn’t going to be a problem at all!

Ep344: Firm Milky Lollipops

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!
