The Cheap Show is an anarchic comedy podcast that is one part chat show, one part game show and one part guide to living on the cheap!

Presented by Paul Gannon, Eli Silverman and Ash Frith, each show features chat, stand up, challenges, audience participation, improvisation and a whole load of outrageous outbursts!

Living in austere times isn't very amusing, but CheapShow will take the edge off it at least!

CheapShow

Special Guest: Brian Wecht (Ninja Sex Party, Starbomb)

The Cheap Show is HERE!

A show that mixes stand up, chat show and game show and celebrates the very best of the very worst... The UK's economy comedy podcast

Ash forces the team stuff their mouths full of cream crackers and make a mess

Brian discovers the joy of the Stylophone

Paul performs a magic trick in this week’s "Price of Shite" game

Ash has his Paul Daniel’s anecdote sensibly censored!

Cheap Eats is an American Food “special”

Who will win? Timmy Mallet and Dusty Bin in a pop music face off?

Eli forces his pickled sausage down your throat…

…and Virgil Howe, from Little Barrie, eats what Paul won’t.

Ep 1: Brian Wecht Lowers His Standards

It's CheapShow Episode 2, celebrating the best of the worst...

...Performed in front of a PACKED house at The Camden Head Pub, London, Paul Gannon and Eli Silverman inflict their own brand of improvised economy comedy in their (loosely) Easter themed episode!

In this week's mighty episode...

Paul tries to marry the world of classic horror and classic literature together for profitable gain, explains how his young life was ruined by looking like the Milky Bar Kid, tries to explain different types of penis to the audience, pretends to be Daddy at feeding time, attempts to bring peace and calm to the world with his new relaxation tape and discovers that no one cares about his nuts...
Meanwhile...

Eli gives more blunt opinions on the week's news, wants to spank women and drink vodka for Easter, gets pissed off with Gingerbread, tells us one too many stories about his vomiting adventures, gets fed like a big hairy baby, admits to sucking off tramps, has a piss poor Tales from the Dance Floor story to tell and considers his opinions on nuts the most authoritative in the world.

It's just another uncatagorisable comedy show!

Ep 2: Eli And Paul Eat Baby Food

Special Guest Bec Hill

CheapShow Episode 3 is another instalment of the bargain basement podcast that celebrates the very best of the worst

In this episode...

Eli calls Paul a down on his luck IT salesman and Paul calls Eli an inside out Danny DeVito.

Eli thinks he has the ultimate solution for all these leaked nude pictures.

Paul and Ash Frith give us dire warnings about our own phone misadventures.

The boys answers the age old questions, "What is worse... Incessant uncontrollable orgasms or over sized testicles?"

Very special guest Bec Hill gets put through the wringer thanks to a very peculiar set of inappropriate questions from Eli.

Eli picks probably one of the very worst singles ever for his vinyl selection and one that ends quickly... but not quickly enough.

The boys introduce a new segment called the Price of Shite - which is like a charity shop version of Antiques Roadshow... But that quickly goes off the rails and eventually leads to Ash and Bec creating, mid show, their own spin off show where the hosts are lovely and nice to each other! Can You Imagine That??!?!

Eli has a brief Pop Up Pirate make over.

Eli and Paul are charged with creating an advert for Camden Town, which doesn't go well and leads to a hilarious and yet shocking confession from Bec!

The highlight of the show is the "Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Challenge" where Paul, Eli and the rest of the packed Camden crowd take on a jelly bean eating competition where no one knows what nice or nasty flavour they are putting in their mouths... but quickly learn to regret it... However it's Eli to takes the brunt of the misery.

Finally, Eli throws his weight around on the topic of Fizzy Drinks. He may be wrong, but he really doesn't care!
Dare you listen?

We'd like you to listen!

It was destined to be... CheapShow Vs Ashens!
In our fabulous 4th episode, Paul and Eli put their guest through the following trials...
Paul decides to update board games to make them edgier.
Eli tells a tall tale about his sudden interest in Marine Biology... and time travel.
Ashen is put through yet another bloody awful interview, tackling such topics as darkest thoughts, taxidermy ducks and dirty old hot dogs.
Paul plays a game with Eli and Ashens that involves the world's deadliest toys.
Find out what E.T's finger and a Dora the Explorer Aqua Pet have in common.
Ashens and Paul find out a bit too much about Eli's hatred of the song "Old MacDonald Has A Farm"
Ashens turns the tables and forced Eli and Paul to taste his own choice of terrible Candy.
Eli brings "Sponch" into the world.

Ep 4: Stuart Ashens Eats Sponch

(Mono Edition)
Summer is nearly over and Paul and Eli do not want to waste a single sunny day, so it’s time for another walkabout episode! This route, as chosen by Eli, is one they’ve been keen to do for a while and now it’s their chance to tackle the length of the New River. The New River is an artificial waterway that opened in 1613 to deliver water in towards London from Hertfordshire. There is no way in hell that the Cheap Chaps will be able to do ALL of it, as its around 20 miles, but they can do a fat chunk of the middle of it! So, join Paul & Eli as they pack up a few snacks and begin weaving their way through North London, arguing, laughing and pontification before throwing in the towel! How far do they get? Will Paul ever be correct in Eli’s eyes? Will the “self-heating” lunch work? Are jokes their forte? It’s all revealed in this epic 150 minute walkabout adventure.

Ep 453: A New River Runs Through It (Mono)

Don't know CheapShow?
Don't know where to start?
Well, how about using this delightful teaser mini episode that sets the scene for the madness that is to follow!
In each episode, Paul Gannon & Eli Silverman celebrate the cheap and tacky and try to find treasure in the trash. It's a little pop culture, it's a little nostalgic, it's manic, verbally violent and unlike any other podcast you know... potentially!

Ep 0: An Introductory Offer

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!
