It’s been long requested and finally, this week on CheapShow, you are getting what you asked for. It’s time to go Nightbussin! London has a large number of bus routes that start after midnight and run until the early morning. These routes help people get about the capital city at all hours, whether they are coming home from a late shift at work, or desperate to get home after a wild night out and the tubes are all closed. Night Busses are an important part of London and Paul and Eli are going to take one of these routes and invite you along. For their first adventure, for some reason, they have chosen the N18. It starts in Harrow and winds its way south towards Trafalgar Square. What will they witness, what will they remember and will it just be ANOTHER excuse for Eli to talk about himself and his younger days again? Either way, you’ll be on the journey with them in “real time”. 
“Ding, Ding!”, the cheap chaps are off on another rambling adventure!

Ep 376: Nightbussin'

They said it would never happen, but somehow it has! For the first time in over 5 years, the Barshens team have gathered in London for a special reunion episode of CheapShow! Paul and Eli welcome Stuart Ashen, Barry Lewis, Chris Bullock, Ryan Livermore and Izzie Jones (kinda) into their podcast world. It’s a packed show. Paul kicks things off with a few Sharticles, ranging from sexed up whales and dead hamsters to late library books and smooth bollocks. Along the way, there’ll be plenty of nonsensical tangents too. Not only that, but Paul crafts a Gannon’s Golden Games Gauntlet edition of Bars Vs Hens. Barry versus Stuart in three games to test their agility, creativity and dexterity. It’s the ultimate game of skill with a shocking outcome! Ryan and Chris get to play along too, as they’ll be betting on who will win AND play The Price of Shite for some quality p’twings! If you need your Barshens fix, this is the episode you have (probably) all been waiting for. Barshens Rises!!

Ep 377: Barshens Rises

Every year Eli races off to Florida to spend time with his family, but he always makes sure he brings back something for the show. This week on CheapShow, Eli has a big bag of bounty filled to the brim with all kinds of snacks, treats and drinks. Maybe too many. It’s a food stuffed episode of CheapShow that has the cheap chaps tackle Buffalo Cheetos, Doritos Dinamita Sticks, Hot Nuts and (sadly for Paul) potted meat. Horrible potted meat. Hopefully the soft drink segment of the podcast will wash away any unpleasantness, as there are three fun sodas to sample. The only downside is that this part of the show allows Paul to make a load more enemies by proclaiming his hate for a particular type of pop! In amongst all the snacking, we get to catch up with TrackBot… Poor old TrackBot!

Ep 378: Gob Job

Oh Muvva! This week’s episode of CheapShow is a brain melting, word gargling, logic defying audio adventure into the madness of Paul and Eli. Eli is excited to showcase another Noodle Pot Blitz with a wide range of favours and gimmicks. Some will delight and some will disgust, but they will ALL be judged by the world’s best noodle opinionators. Elsewhere in the podcast, CheapShow “scholar” Ivenne has sent the Cheap Chaps another Price of Shite package, packed with an assortment of weird and woeful items. Sadly, this leads to one of CheapShow biggest s*** shows. It also doesn’t help that Paul and Eli are running on fumes and you know what that means for the actual comedy content of this episode… It’s going to get weird.

Ep 381: Three Swiss Francs

Sometimes it can get TOO exciting on CheapShow at times! This week is no exception as Paul and Eli decide to see if all Ready Salted crisps are created equal. They’ve sourced six different types of “pre salted potato crisp snacks” to put through a rigorous flavour test, with Super Taster Eli J Silverman dolling out his expertise and opinions. Will the cheap Smiths crisps be able to compete with the mega brand Walkers, and how do they all stack up against the fancy kettle style crisps? It’s a potentially gripping segment, if you are the type of person to have strong beliefs on snacks. It’s not just salty treats on offer either! Paul has grabbed a load of super sour candies to excite and possibly appal the taste buds. Hopefully Paul doesn’t injure his mouth in the process. That would be terrible… About as terrible as his apparently psychic bum hole and dark homunculus magic spells. Oh CheapShow, never change!

Ep 382: A Right Royal Ready Salted Rank Off

In 2004, Shaun of the Dead was released into cinemas and its particular mix of horror and comedy quickly made it a beloved cult classic… Turns out Paul was on set as a zombie extra during the production of this movie and he has a few stories to tell about it. It’s a pity he will hardly get the chance to do so! To celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary, CheapShow decides to explore North London to hunt for some of the real life locations from the ZomRomCom hit. They’ll roam Finchley, Highgate, Crouch End and even take a long trip to South London for their final location in New Cross Gate. It’s an epic journey that has Eli trying to inject his own misinformed opinions and hijack the walk with his memories… Which means Paul can barely be able to recall his own! They’ll argue, digress and talk absolute garbage in yet another failed attempt to be taken seriously. Luckily, they manage to bump into comedian/actor Paul Putner who’ll offer a few of his own SotD stories to balance out Paul and Eli’s nonsense.

Ep 383: Walk of the Shaun of the Dead

“Is there such thing as Too Much Sauce?” That’s the question CheapShow will have to answer this week when Eli turns up to the recording with a massive bag of random sauces. Donated to the podcast following a live show last year, these sauces have been festering in The House of Pickles for months, just waiting to be devoured by eager mouths. That time is now. Originally there were 16 sauces to tackle, but luckily half of them can be discounted, but that still leaves 8 interesting condiments to put to the taste test. The only real problem here is that Paul is tired and grumpy and is in no mood to gobble down saucy muck. Things don’t get any better when the Price of Shite is revealed, leading to a rather fractured game of tat pricing action. It’s a choice selection, ranging from the odd to the deranged.

Ep 384: Dikkeneks

Sometimes all Eli and Paul need is a bit of Moog music to quell their troubled souls. What they present this week ranges from the misguided to the truly odd. On Silverman’s Platters they’ll investigate the strange Flamenco Moog, a track inspired by the sport of Ping Pong and a piece of music from a long forgotten, and oddly sci-fi flavoured, 1970s musical! Let’s hope the Cheap Chaps get through all these tracks quickly as Track-Bot is apparently about to reboot! Thanks to a kind listener, CheapShow has another PO Box sourced Price of Shite to investigate. As they try to guess the correct pounds and pence, they’ll discover a bit about the confectioners Bassetts, try to figure out the maths of 3D Tic-Tac-Toe and give their worthless opinions on the legendary Goon Show radio show. All this and much, much less!

Ep 385: Fallow Moments

To Paul’s surprise, it turns out that CheapShow has never tackled the classic TV game show “Celebrity Squares” on Gannon’s Golden Games, so to rectify that, he’s whipping out the 1970s board game for this week’s episode. However, what makes “Celebrity Squares” so interesting are all those famous faces that gives the show a bit of class and humour, and the Cheap Chaps don’t have of those kinds of people hanging around… So, they will have to invent their own Celebrities instead, and that can only be a mistake, right? You’ll learn the hard way how successful they were! Before we get to that board game show down, there is an Off Brand/Brand Off to enjoy. Eli has his “supertaster” taste buds ready to go to see if he can spot the “Ben’s Original” microwavable Mexican Rice from the knock off offerings. Will the Aldi or Tesco alternatives come out on top and what will be the best value for money? As ever, CheapShow has all the answers, you just need to brave enough to press “Play”…!

Ep 386: Celebrities Squared

It should’ve been an easy adventure for Paul and Eli. The plan was to meet at Woolwich Arsenal and get the Clipper west along the Thames to Putney Pier, along the way they would play some games and nibble on some snacks… But things are never that simple for the CheapShow boys! Instead, they’ll battle delayed trains, false starts, inaccurate timetables, cancelled bus routes and Paul’s insistence that Eli has become a drug addled gambler. They’ll do their best to fit some actual “cheap” content into this week’s episode, but it will be hard to do so in amongst their squabbling and ever changing travel plans. Will they make the Clipper? Will they get around to eating those Bubble Gum flavoured Crisps? Do they know where they are going? Will they even be able to get home? Find out in this accidentally epic race through the centre of London!

Ep 387: Day Clipper

If there is one thing CheapShow loves without exception, it’s Tomy toys from yesteryear! We’ve covered much of their back catalogue in the past, but this week we have three items that are very beloved. Paul and Eli get to tinker with kitties in a Water Wonderland game, battle sharks with the Tomytronic 3D “Shark Attack” toy and take on the challenge of Screwball Scramble: Level 2! How will Tomy fare? Only CheapShow has the answers! Also on the show, we wet our whistles with three soft drinks, two of which will probably be godawful, and investigate “milky straws” that are filled with candy flavoured beads. Will they make the milk better or worse? We sample two new “Candy Cans” but it’s almost a foregone conclusion that the cheap chaps will not take kindly to them. Maybe Eli’s new Red Bull (sigh) will save the day? If not, don’t worry, as Eli is obsessed with making crude jokes involving genitals and types of fish. As you can expect, Paul isn’t too impressed, but despite suffering from food poisoning whilst recording, he’s going to have to craft a gag to appease Eli before the day is over. Oh Joy!

Ep 389: The Tomy Triple

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!
