Time is tight this week because Paul has no intention of spending hours editing the podcast when there is a trip to Los Angeles to plan! As a result, this is another one of those “real time” episode, one hour of solid, uncut, barely sensical, almost delirious, economy comedy action. What can they cram in to those precious 60 minutes? Well, firstly they try to guzzle down some unusual sodas. There’s a delicious new Mountain Dew to savour and Fanta have brought out another bloody “mystery” flavour? Can the cheap chaps figure it out? Of course not! Secondly, there’s a Price of Shite to tackle too! It’s rammed with awful items for Eli to guess the costs of. Finally, why is Paul acting like Eli and what is Cocklenuts? It’s a speed run version of CheapShow! So hold on tight, as once we start, we don’t stop until the hour is up!

Ep 355: Cocklenuts

It's the second of three episodes recorded in Los Angeles and this week they are joined by Brian Wecht and Leighton Gray, the hosts of the rather lovely "Leighton Night with Brian Wecht"! In a change to the usual format for both shows, Paul and Eli will be filling their episode with Leighton Night content and offering their own takes on that show's segments. They'll be dishing out "peaches and lemons", leaning harder on the lemons (annoying things) than on the peaches (lovely things) and telling everyone "What's Poppin?". True to Leighton Night's format, Paul will go all in on this particular gimmick! Eli just about remembers to turn up. How will Brian and Leighton fare when they get their own segments thrown right back in their faces? Find out this week!

BONUS: You'll be able to see how Part Two of this cross-over podcast event pans out by listening to "Ep 193 Leighton Night Does CheapShow" of Leighton Night with Brian Wecht on all participating podcast platforms!

Ep 358: CheapShow Does Leighton Night

It looks like Paul and Eli are finally back in the House of Mash and Eggs after a month of LA adventures and they’re trying to get back into the groove. It’s not long before they are arguing, shouting and exaggerating again like they’d never been away. It seems that Hollywood had no effect on them at all. To ease themselves back into the old CheapShow game, they’re taking on some new and unusual sodas and diving back into Eli’s record box to sample some silly singles. Once again Coca Cola Creations rears its ugly head with a new coke allegedly created by A.I from the year 3000… or something like that? How will a computer crafted cola fare? Will it be any better than the Pokémon themed “cheese and salt water” fizzy drink? They’re going to find out the hard way. In Silverman’s Platters, it’s a trio of tracks to endure that bounces from early library music electronica, singing sheep and the ruddy Chegwin brothers! Who IS Jeff Chegwin anyway? Find out this week!

Ep 361: A.I. Soda From The Year 3000

As 2023 winds down, Paul and Eli are coming apart at the seams. Can they mentally make it over the New Year finish line? Judging by this week’s episode, it’s going to be touch and go. It’s apparent from the start that Paul is in full chaotic evil mode and that going to make life difficult for Eli. Eli doesn’t make it easy for himself either, by being overly honest about something we’d all rather move on from talking about. Obviously, Paul is going to exploit that to extreme lengths. There is a PO Box sourced Price of Right to explore but Paul has slipped in a ringer. However, because he can’t win any points this episode, Paul is going to out of his way to make sure Eli doesn’t. Finally, Gannon’s Golden Games unearths a “party game” called F* That, which is exactly what they think after playing it. It’s a fiery episode of CheapShow to warm your cockles!

Ep 362: Fluid Beef

After the drunken madness of the 5th Annual Christmas Office Party, Paul and Eli decide to end the year on a more reflective note. On the recommendation of YouTuber John Rogers, the Cheap Chaps take a merry wander through London, starting in Angel, Islington and ending in Highgate Village. It’s a walk that allows Paul & Eli to revisit a few old haunts and discover a few new corners of the Capital at the same time. Along the way they’ll dish out a bonus/unnecessary Tales from the Dance Floor, tell a few stories from their early stand-up comedy days and open a few surprise presents too! It’s CheapShow’s final episode of 2023, everyone! Merry Christmas, see you in 2024! X

Thank You ALL for listening/supporting CheapShow throughout 2023! It means the world to us.

Ep 364: A Christmas Constitutional

It’s been a while, but CheapShow is ready to dive into the cheats, liars and conmen of the past. This week, Paul and Eli take a look into the life of journalist Louis T Stone, who spun many a tall tale and become notorious for his outrageous reports. However, they soon learn that when it comes to truth in journalism, the more things change, the more things stay the same. Once Mr Stone has been put away, it’s time for “Paul’s Pleasant Pastimes” and it’s one that should put their terrible mouth noise skills to good use. Will playing “Soundiculous” drive them mad? The odds are good!
CheapShow this week is brought to you by the various fine chemical products from Graxton Industries.

Ep 366: Graxton's Gruft

It’s Radio CheapShow time. Sort of! It’s another whole episode dedicate to the utterly confounding world of vinyl record discoveries. Paul and Eli have unearthed some truly weird and confusing 7 inchers that will most likely be a chore to listen to. This week, the Cheap Chaps consider if “hustling” will really help them get ahead, unravel the dumb logic of an Electro song about The Lone Ranger, sample the delights of a Terrahawks pop princess and debate the musical legitimacy of Cannon & Ball. Along the way, a few upsetting new characters bubble out of the nonsense with a rather distasteful dog and a pointless robot taking up everyone’s valuable time. More economy comedy awaits!

Ep 367: Pork Laureate

A long time ago, CheapShow was sent an unusual 7” vinyl record called The Sounds of London. The record contained an audio snapshot of the sounds of Britain’s capital in 1967. It’s a fascinating collage of iconic sounds and environmental background noises, offering a unique peek into the past. Rather than talk it about it on a Silverman’s Platter segment, Paul & Eli decided to go out into the centre of London to try and recreate it instead! This week, they’ll race around with their portable recording kit and try and collect as many modern takes of the original vinyl as possible. The Cheap Chaps will zip from Trafalgar Square, to Waterloo, back to Piccadilly Circus and on towards Fleet Street grabbing all the sounds they can! Will they be magnificently successful or will they completely cock it up? It’s a walkabout adventure that takes in bird dirt, arguments with elevators, a lucky break with the bells of St. Clements and a grotty plan to abuse a street performer! It’s the Sounds of London 2024 in the only way CheapShow knows how.

Ep 369: The Sounds of London 2024

Paul is SO close to finishing his (long in gestation) book this week, so wants to keep this week’s show simple. As a result, he is pulling out his big box of tat and inviting Eli to dive in and pull out anything of value, of interest or of pure disgust. It’s another real time episode with 60 minutes on the clock to wade through years’ worth of lost and forgotten cheap trinkets. There are odd albums to quickly listen to, pretty far out of date snacks and candies to munch on, a cassette of cartoon tunes to remember, some army rations to mull over and a whole range of weird odds and ends! Chances are, if you sent something to CheapShow over the years, it’s finally time to see if Paul kept hold of it long enough for this episode. Hold on tight, this one is a mad rush to the finish line!

Ep 370: A Good Old Rummage

Do you feel the power of the Gladiators? Can you face the challenge of the champions? Do you have the courage of a hero? Do you have the will and the skill? Paul and Eli are going to find out this week when they attempt to play a board game based on the hit 1990s Saturday evening TV series, “Gladiators”. They’ll reminisce over their memories of the show, cover a tiny bit of its history and poke about for any mucky anecdotes before throwing down the board and playing the game… Which is probably for the best because game… Well, it’s not great! Also, after a bit of a break, Eli is back with his “Sauce Report” with a number of sweet and hot condiments to slurp down. Was it a good idea to resurrect this segment, or will the Cheap Chaps just be slurping down out of date sauce until the end of days? Find out this week, in a show packed with new characters, old gags and vast amounts of nonsense words.

Ep 371: Sauce Of The Gladiators

This week’s episode is all a bit random and bemusing. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Bugs Bunny ever visited London in the early 1970s? The answer may confuse you. In a Charity Shop Showcase, Paul is offering up a strange child’s album featuring Warner Brother’s most famous Looney Tunes that brings up way too many questions. Eli has a few odd trinkets himself, a curious assortment of toys, games and tiny toys, but Paul would rather get into his Page Turners segment! There are three books to investigate, ranging from comedy double act tie-in annuals to a large helping of 1980s nostalgia with Smash Hits 1985. It’s the final book that proves to be the most interesting. What if you turned Cadbury’s Crème Eggs into a literal egg hunt? One book, following in the trail of the legendary “Masquerade”, will present its own “Conundrum”! Find out more in this week’s economy comedy podcast!

Ep 372: Books Bunny

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!
