After last week’s epic walkabout/Gannon’s Golden Games hybrid episode, it’s time to calm things down again. What this episode doesn’t need is violent meltdowns, stupid new characters, an appalling improvised song and useless conversational tangents… Sadly that’s exactly what you can expect in this week’s edition of the economy comedy podcast. It’s a simple enough set up with snacks, drinks and a Price of Shite from the PO Box. Over the course of the hour, Paul and Eli will drink milky booze, Minecraft Doritos, stare at arses, improvise songs over small electronic fidget toy music and muse over some new noodles. It’s good comfort food podcasting at CheapShow HQ and with the added bonus of introducing the world to Donna Eggs, who’ll solve ALL our problems!

Ep 426: Donna Egg & The Bad Boys

Oh Boy Howdy have we got noodles for you this week! Eli is frothing with anticipation because he’s got three cup noodles to blitz through AND he’s managed to get his little claws on two new noodle/pasta hybrid meals. Paul is going to just have to deal with the onslaught of instant noodle goodness that is coming his way. They’ll be sampling some vile Pickled Onion Super Noodles, guzzling down some spicy hot Kim Chi Jjigae broth and see what the Squid Game licenced Rice Cakes in Sweet and Spicy sauce is like. Once that’s been tasted and tested, the Cheap Chaps are moving on to a new line of food from Samyang called Tangle. It seems to be an instant noodle meets Italian pasta hybrid thing that can’t taste as weird as it sounds, right? However, if you fear its all noodle, all the time, then don’t worry as we have a brilliant new character making a debut. Even Eli approves! Who is Dicky Churdlington and what’s his top tip for the races this weekend? As ever, you have to listen to find out!

Ep 427: Non Stop Noodles

It’s another week, it’s another familiar episode packed with tat, snacks and … Pardon? Who’s that at the door. Who? Grumpy Sessions you say? Why has he got a big box of VHS tapes with him?
Fine.
Let him in.
Whatever he wants to show us, shouldn’t take too long.
Paul and Eli are going to have to tolerate Grumpy’s return to the show this week. 
We apologise in advance.

Ep 429: Grumpy's Showreel

After two weeks away in America, Eli arrives back in one piece and ready to go with a grab bag of tat and tasty treats to foist upon his co-host. He’s brought with him a few snacks to wrap their tongues around and a special USA flavoured “Price of Shite” … Sorry, “The Cost of Crud”, as Eli would prefer to call it. To make matters more pointless, he decides that points are not “p’twings” this week and instead they are “p’twangs”. Whatever they are, Gannon wants them, and he’s going to try his very best. However, Paul may have gone a bit doolally whilst he had no co-host for a while, so please bear that in mind as he continuously threatens Eli with his “Chobber”. What is this “Chobber” of which he speaks? I mean, it’s obvious, right? But you better listen in just to check.

Ep 430: The Cost Of Crud

STEREO EDITION
The sun’s out so Eli and Paul decide to escape CheapShow HQ and head back to Hampstead Heath for another barely acceptable picnic adventure. This time out, they have a reason for roaming around the heath on a wonderfully warm Spring day. Inspired by the accidental discovery of a Geocache box back in Ep 342 (Gannon's Golden Quest The Third), the Cheap Chaps are going to make a full day of it, using a free to use Geocaching phone app to hunt down as many boxes, tubs and bottles as they can before the sun sets. They may be hidden anywhere, so Paul and Eli are going to have to keep their wits about them to find them all.  As ever, the lure of cheap picnic snacks, free booze and “extreme” flavoured drinks and candy may derail all their best efforts. In this 2 hour and 35 minute epic episode, join CheapShow has they, once again, find a way to be busy doing nothing!

Ep 433: CheapShow TV 2025 (Part Two)

MONO EDITION
When the sun is shining this brightly in the London sky, Paul and Eli refuse to stay cooped up inside CheapShow HQ… So, they are out and about (yes again!) to go on an aimless wander through another corner of London. This time they’ve decided, for no good reason, to explore Nunhead Cemetery, one of London’s “Magnificent 7” cemeteries. It’s a gothic, spooky, heavily wooded area packed with tombs, crypts, gravestones and unusually named deceased folk. As they stroll about, they’ll aim to be respectful but at some point, Eli will want to get the booze out and Paul will want to get the hell out of the place… And once they reach Peckham Rye Common, things will get a little bit more unhinged. In possibly one of CheapShow’s more directionless walkabout episodes, join the Cheap Chaps on one of the warmest and sunniest days of the year… in a ruddy graveyard!

Ep 434: Cemetery Men (Mono Edition)

It’s been a month of walkabout adventures, game shows and another character retrospective, so it’s about time that Eli and Paul got back into CheapShow HQ for another 75 minutes of cheap laughs! It’s a “back to basics” episode where Eli gets to have his way with the content, forcing more sauces and snacks into the show than Paul can tolerate. CheapShow gets to sample a new and unusual flavour of Pringles that has a high bar to clear, there is a nice Price of Shite to amuse and bemuse and (because Eli demanded it) the episode closes out with a bumper Sauce Report. It’s taken us a little longer than expected, but we finally have our hands on the “Peperami” sausage brand of hot sauces that demand judgement! It’s a tat packed show with grotty toys, naff books and did someone mention something about gummies?

Ep 435: Chekhov's Gum

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!
