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!

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

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?
Should 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.

Ashens turns the tables and forced Eli and Paul to taste his own choice of terrible Candy.
Eli brings "Sponch" into the world.
Find out who is "A Poet of The Stupid"
And finally bear witness to another of Eli's apocalyptic Top 3 discussions. This week, we tackle TOP 3 TOYS!

Ep 5: Rob Deb Sucks Sour Candies

Special Guest Eggsy (from Goldie Lookin Chain)

It's time again for CheapShow to wander blindly into the world of the supernatural and pray they escape with their lives with a horror special!

This week the boys over use the spooky sound effects and ghostly music to bring you a show jammed packed with Halloween Goodness....

HOWL in despair as Paul rolls off more of his purifying puns!
SCREAM as Eli tells a tale of vampire seductresses! 
GROAN with anguish with Ash Frith's tall tales of terror.
SHRIEK as our special guest, Eggsy (from that Welsh Rap band you like) has to referee the world's whitest rap battle about Les Dennis.
GASP with surprise as The Hadron Gospel Hour podcast interrupts the show to save all the universes!
WHISPER in fear as Eli creates his own monster using Paul's face and £5 of horror make up.
WAIL with fear as Eli gets possessed by the spirit of another long dead 80's comedian.
CRY for your sins as all the lads chow down on a disgusting selection of "Trick R Treat" candy.
And SQUEAL until you pass out as Eli's Top 3 Horror Movies discussion comes to another verbally violent conclusion!

So turn out the lights, draw a candle close and pray that listening to our Halloween special is the only thing keeping you alive for one more night...

Ep 6: Eggsy's Trick Or Treat

Special Guest Justin Panks

In episode 7 on the good ship CheapShow, the boys go back to basics with a lean, mean, keen show.

Paul tries to get the interest in local businesses for sponsorship and can only find Carl's Burger and Jason's Doner-Van.

Eli explains once again about how special his education was and how wasted on him it was.

Justin Panks is made to choose between a milky nightmare and a Freudian one!

The Price of Shite takes in 3 items of unusual quality - A book, a decision maker and a dodgy copy of 1970s comedians.

And in Cheap Eats, the boys go back to the Japanese well to look at a selection of fishy food and green tea candy made by a seemingly universally hated confectionery company.

Once again, it seems what started as a simple show soon devolves into the usual collection of slurs and empty threats!

Ep 27: Con Men & Niffy Winkies

We're Back! After a brief hiatus, Paul & Eli are back for more cheap tips, cheap tat and cheap laughs. The economy comedy podcast has returned and its bigger and better than ever... actually, its exactly the same.
In this particularly grotty episode, Eli advises, not only where to buy and find weird and wonderful vinyl, but also how to get rid of a fat bloated corpse. We catch up with what the chaps have been up to during their time off (Paul: Lots, Eli: Nothing). We get into some old school Price of Shite goodness and we cap the show off with a "Dollop-esque" investigation of Britain's most horrible, dirty old man: John Meggot/Elwes
Ahh, Cheapshow. Trashy as ever!
We would like to once again thank Page Branson for our awesome new logo and Brian Wecht for the trippy & fantastic new theme music.

Ep 28: The Grotty Life of John Meggot

Paul & Eli take refuge in Paul's Cambridge abode to deliver another economy comedy podcast

In this episode, Paul delights in discovering more about Eli's new fan club. However, Eli is less impressed. We reply to your #AskSilverman questions. The chaps search through a "Betterware" catalogue to hopefully find gold, but come up with piss and in The Price is Shite, things get heated when Paul & Eli play a bit of Donkey Derby.

Ep 33: Eli Silverman's Fan Club

It's boom bang-a-bang time as Paul, Eli and random co-host Ash Frith dive into the world of The Eurovision Song Contest in this Europop special. The chaps pick through some of the best and worst songs from the decades old songwriting crapfest to present the tracks that tickle their interest, from meta-music electro-pop all the way to singing turkeys! So join them as they wave a flag, debate some musical debacles and give "Nil Points" to this yearly musical contest. WARNING: It gets pointless and grotesquely sexy at times.
Oh, and stay tuned at the end... Ash, sorry, DJ Ashy F has made something special for you!

Ep 43: Sexy Eurovision Contest

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

It's cheap gossip magazine time and, as it turns out, there is not too much humour you can derive from articles about domestic violence, harrowing illness and personality quizzes... and it doesn't help that Paul has just discovered a wacky sound effect app for his phone that he hopes will lighten the tone somewhat. He is wrong. Eli, in turn, brings the food for another delightful Cheap Eats segment. Despite the usual collection of bargain foodstuffs, the cheap chaps finally get their hands on the holy grail of muck... And its not good. Not good at all!

Ep 46: That's Life!

Important Note: In this episode we accidentally give out some actual proper advice! We apologise wholeheartedly and promise never to knowingly do it again!
With that out of the way, why not enjoy another hour of cheap tat, cheap tunes and cheap laughs. In this episode, Eli rummages through more of his weird and wonderful vinyl... Paul tries and fails to create a new exciting feature for Cinefiles... Gannon also looks into a collection of off brand candy AS WELL as knockoff BeanBoozled jelly beans called Double Dares! One particular flavour will send shock waves through one of the hosts, but who will it be and what flavour?
Finally, Paul & Eli discover two annoying new sounds that aim to show their smug appreciation of a thought!

Ep 47: Paul Gannon's FrothShop

Paul & Eli tackle more delightful and demented charity shop finds in an episode carefully entitled "Bum Eggs". Why? Well, why not find out?
It's a bumper edition of the show to tide you over until the forthcoming "epic" 50th edition and the cheap chaps cram in lots of the usual features.
Eli fields a new batch of noodle questions, much to Paul's annoyance... Can you tell the difference between brand and off brand snacks? Eli takes on the challenge to see if Aldi's range of bubbly chocolate and potato hoop snacks stacks up to the genuine article and the results are shockingly surprising... There are more random vinyl singles in Silverman's Platter to listen to, some of which are actually quite good for a change (but not many) and it's Gannon's turn to deliver "The Price of Shite" with one item concealing a horrid, unsettling surprise!
It's more of the usual awesome bouts of tat and chat and, for some reason, Paul is not going to take Eli's crap any more (and Eli isn't particularly bothered)!

Ep 49: Bum Eggs

This should not have been Episode 51. Noel Edmonds made us do this. We can only apologise profusely and hope you can forgive us... We watched "Cheap Cheap Cheap". For our sins we watched it, so you never have to. This episode begins as a commentary track for Ep01 of "Cheap Cheap Cheap" but quickly and horrifically devolves into something unforgivable. Eli was WAY too ill to sit through an hour of Noel Edmonds and it nearly breakes him. In turn, that nearly breaks Paul too. We will all be sorrier for the experience.
We can never apologise enough.
All opinions and immature accusations are obviously us taking the piss. Please do not make us lament having to write that last sentence. We feel bad enough.

Ep 51: Life is Cheap Cheap Cheap

CheapShow 54 aims its spotlight at the theatrical stage in an episode dedicated to the life and appalling acting talents of 19th century actor Robert Coates. But is Eli a worse actor? You can find out as Paul reads Eli another demented tale of low life larks. It's not just story time on CheapShow, the cheap chaps also present another "Mi Casa, Su Casa" segment which leaves both pretty offended and underwhelmed... And we jump into another pile of vile vinyl in "Silverman's Platter" that takes in a tour of 80's novelty music, a Cabbage Patch Dolls concept album and the jaunty tunes of one of the UK's most racist 70's comedians. Oh what fun!

Ep 54: An Acting Masterclass

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!
