Comedy EN ↓ 500 episodes

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 adva...

Episodes

Ep 191: Hot, Raw & Uncut 14.08.2020

After weeks of complicated, carefully crafted episodes of CheapShow, Paul wanted something fast and dirty instead for episode 191. Paul demanded that the show be a solid hour, feature no edits and be as raw as possible. He definitely got that. In 60 minutes Paul and Eli cram in a debate about Urinevision, a Sauce Report, a few random characters, a Cheap Eats, a League of Snacks and even a bespoke...

Ep 190: The Urinevision Song Contest 2020 07.08.2020

It's been 6 months in the making, features our biggest cast of characters, has the most special guest appearances and is packed with 13 great songs created by the CheapShow audience... But only one those songs can win "The Urinevision Song Contest 2020"! Who will win? How many of the judges will get the scoring right? Which song is the most demented and what exactly IS going on in the green room?...

Ep 189: The French Letter 31.07.2020

Every once in a while, CheapShow stumbles on to something that is both gloriously delightful and utterly bizarre. This week that "something" arrives in the form of a small, blue, handwritten letter from a celebrity to an adoring fan... from 1969! Elsewhere, we dive through listener's detritus, discovering a whole host of random attic tat and Eli "demands" he hear Paul cum. It's as horrible as it s...

Ep 188: Gannon's Golden Quest 24.07.2020

This week on CheapShow, Eli is tasked with an epic quest orchestrated by The Quest Master himself, Paul... Or is it Sir Freshwon and his mystical goblin assistant? The lines between reality and fantasy become blurred this week when Paul and Eli go on another magical mystery tour of London... but with a difference! This time, Paul has set Eli 4 tasks that will challenge whatever is left of Eli's ad...

Ep 187: Sentence Nonsense 17.07.2020

There is more sentence nonsense this week in an episode called "Sentence Nonsense" featuring Paul & Eli playing with a Tomy toy called "Sentence Nonsense". As you can imagine, it helps the chaps build a lot of nonsense sentences. Not that they need any help doing that. Elsewhere this week, Paul regrets ever mentioning the highly suspicious "Frosties" famine, the PO Box delivers a new, bespoke Pric...

Ep 186: CheapShow Babies 10.07.2020

In many respects, this week's episode of CheapShow is a relatively simple affair! There is a short and sweet “Tales from the Shop Floor” and the PO Box delivers a wonderfully flavoursome collection of Spanish Cheap Eat treats... However, it's what floats around those segments you need to be careful of! Eli is off his leash because Paul can't speak for long periods, they consider a new Mr Blobby de...

Ep 185: Public Domain Stupidity 03.07.2020

This week, we have nothing. No. Genuinely, we have absolutely nothing. We finally ran out of things to do! The lock down has cut us off from our usual supplies and so Paul and Eli resort to desperate measures. Very desperate. What's available, absolutely free and can do a lot of creative heavy lifting? Why! It's public domain songs and stories. This week, the cheap chaps burrow through the public...

Ep 184: Magical Mystery Picnic 26.06.2020

Roll up (and that's an invitation), roll up for the mystery picnic Roll up (to make a reservation), roll up for the mystery picnic The magical mystery picnic is waiting to take you away Waiting to take you away... take you away! Eli and Paul are BACK TOGETHER... kinda. This week, the cheap chaps take to the roads, streets and back alleys of North London to look for the perfect place for a picnic....

Ep 183: Pandora's Rub 19.06.2020

This week on CheapShow, the cheap chaps are gifted a truly marvellous item from the PO Box. A piece of vinyl so awful that it's mere existence is utterly wonderful. In the process, Paul and Eli will discover a lot about life, the universe, the cosmos and bending kitchen utensils! Why not grab a door key and get ready to bend it along with us? Elsewhere in this episode, Eli's correctly predicts the...

Ep 182: Eli's Mandate 12.06.2020

Paul is spent. After the 3 hour epic that was episode 181, Paul is out of material so reluctantly he hands over the reigns to Eli. What happens over the 60 minutes is all on Eli, Paul washes his hands of it completely. So... This week expect the stank of Eli's desires as he throws everything from noodles to sauces into the pot and adds a dash of The Muppets and a sprinkle of Pringles to the mix to...

Ep 181: Winkie: The Untold Story 05.06.2020

It's the greatest story NEVER told... Until Now! To celebrate CheapShow's 5th Birthday, Eli and Paul present a very special (and very long) edition of the economy comedy podcast. It's the "as-complete-as-we-can-tell-it" tale of the failed attempt to market a piece of wearable technology, a mysterious nightclub owner with big ideas, the lives of 12 strangers taking part in a 6 month endurance compe...

Ep 180: Boiled Beef & Carrots 29.05.2020

No content? No problems! CheapShow has a PO box and thanks to the scavenging prowess of the cheapshow audience, they will never be short of tat and treasure. Luckily, a last minute delivery means that Paul and Eli have the joy of discovery ahead of them. What do they discover this week? Well, Eli gets a proper noodle bonk on, Paul gets the chance to play one of his favourite naff tunes and this ep...

Ep 179: The Noodle Decimal System 22.05.2020

In times like these, when all seems lost, when we find ourselves consumed with confusion and worry, it's good to know there is a hero to show us the way. Someone who will reach out into the darkness and shout "I am Eli and I bring you... NOODLES". So yes, it's another dose of instant noodle goodness this week. Eli shows off two new discoveries and Paul largely has to put up with it. Same old, same...

Ep 178: Pork Hangover 15.05.2020

In these challenging times, sometimes the hero we need, is not the hero we want. Sometimes are greatest enemy can be your greatest friend. This week on CheapShow, Paul and Eli will be given some valuable guidance on how to think and act more positively... By Noel (Ruddy) Edmonds. It's a "Paul's Page Turners" segment, and its chock full of Noel goodness. Sadly this week, Eli felt compelled to bring...

Ep 177: Suck Vac 3000 08.05.2020

This week, it may be worth bearing in mind that the lock down is having an effect on Paul and Eli's brain. For instance, when Paul puts on a puppet show for his co-host, it doesn't end well for Mr Cocky Crocodile, put it that way. Also witness the sad story of the Suck Vac 3000, a machine built for one purpose and it's one that Eli plans to exploit. At some point the cheap chaps remember the point...

Ep 176: Zoltar Sucks 01.05.2020

What does the future hold for Eli and Paul, what mystical truths can the cheap chaps expect? Well, it doesn't matter because Eli is having NONE of it. Psychic predictions only boil his blood, so Zoltar is going to get a proper roasting! Elsewhere, Paul presents a new flavour of Jaffa cake to the show, Eli gets unnecessarily angry over Mini Chedders and they both go head to head in a Price of Shite...

Ep 175: Choose Your Own Misadventure 24.04.2020

If you would like to listen to a funny, odd economy comedy podcast... Turn to Page 69. If you would like to carry on living in silent ignorance... Turn to Page 13! That's right, this week on CheapShow we take a quick dive into the world of "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. Allowing children to escape into a story where they control the outcome, Paul and Eli reminisce about their own memories of t...

Ep 174: Ruining Marion's Wish 18.04.2020

This episode was seemingly cursed! Damaged audio files, lost footage, crashed hard drives, laptop meltdowns. It's almost as though this episode didn't want to exist. Well, it does and now you have to deal with it. We apologise in advance. This week, Ash Frith (irregular wayward co-host) joins Paul and Eli for more thifty findings and incredible edibles. Eli gets to wrap his taste buds across a sel...

Ep 173: Crisp Edgelord 10.04.2020

If you think a bloody Lock Down is going to stop Eli and Paul from pumping out white hot cheapshow goodness, you are wrong. At least for the time being. By using a device called "the internet" Paul and Eli are able to record more top drawer economy comedy podcast joy. This week we unpack a long lost segment, dive into a crisp conspiracy (that may be b*****s!) and attempt a remote Price of Shite. W...

Ep 172: CheapShow TV 2020 (Part Two) 03.04.2020

Tonight on CheapShow TV: 5pm: Detective Biscuits Detective Jimmy Biscuits is up to his neck in trouble this week when his Boss demands results and his wife is kidnapped by Mr Big! 6pm: CheapShow TV 2020 Part Two (Main Feature) Mr Biffo joins Paul and Eli for an another evening of TV Game Show, Board Game fun. This week, the chaps play Strike It Lucky, Britain's Got Talent and prepare themselves fo...

Ep 171: CheapShow TV 2020 (Part One) 27.03.2020

Tonight on CheapShow TV: 5pm: Brandoff's Cage Richard Brandoff returns to fund more new business ideas. As long they are not from women. 6pm: CHEAPSHOW TV 2020 (Main Feature) Mr Biffo joins Paul and Eli for an evening of The Wheel of Fortune and Just A Minute. Who will win and who is racking up the Beans? 7pm: Critical Mass Theatrical reviews from 2 pseudo-intellectual idiots 8pm: Tumpy The nation...

Ep 170: Hollywood Swinging 20.03.2020

Every now and then, it's good to just take a step back and have a nice and relaxed episode of CheapShow... and this is the closest we are going to get. This week on CheapShow Paul & Eli decide to have a nice and chill episode. That means the usual collection of rants, mad ideas and disgusting tangents. The cheap chaps tackle a few tales from the dance and shop floor, Paul refuses to stop singing h...

Ep 169: Frothtopia 13.03.2020

There are strange things afoot in the HoP this week! Paul & Eli focus carefully on the economy comedy content... By talking about how to get rid of a dead body, the practicalities of cannibalism and the fact that Paul may be seriously considering starting up a cult (just as long as he doesn't give away the final destination for all of his followers)! What exactly is Frothtopia? Eventually, the che...

Ep 168: Unresolvable Sentences 06.03.2020

This week, we are sad to announce that Paul Gannon is broken. Whether it's the hard grind of his usual day to day existence or whether it's just because he is an old fart, who knows? All Eli knows, is that he finds this highly amusing. Paul obviously doesn't. It's a show packed with cheap eats and a Price of Shite that we can assure you is all above board and chock full of p-twings! We'd also like...

Ep 167: Peeyobocksintreetsanaolddong 28.02.2020

What’s in the box? This week, we take a cautious peek into the CheapShow PO Box and see what’s inside. Luckily there are no severed heads, but there IS a rubber duck, a collection of dusty albums, a selection of European candy, a collection of lesser known gross out cards and, in a shocking twist, our greatest enemy gifts the podcast with something actually kinda awesome! And if it’s your 18th Bir...
