CheapShow

It was turning out to be a lovely episode, it really way. It begins with the most epic Sauce Report ever reported. Not only do Eli and Paul enthusiastically discuss McDonald's Big Mac Sauce, but plan to make their own. Eli also brings an amazing sauce discovery to the show, and it's a discovery that could blow the whole segment apart! A little later on, Eli is gifted two delightful treats that bri...

It's a blast from the past on CheapShow this week. After the cancellation of a planned guest, Paul had to reach out to a face that, although familiar to Eli and Paul, will be unknown to YOU! But who is this person? Why is he here and why has it taken 5 years to get that person on the show? Once the mystery is solved, it's another case of the usual CheapShow shenanigans, with a sweet Cheap Eats, a...

If there is one thing that Paul and Eli know how to be, it's how to be a bastard! Over the past 160-odd shows, the cheap chaps have been shouting, screaming, arguing and causing trouble for each other without any assistance or guidance. However, this week, they explore the world of "Bitches" and Bastards" by looking at two books and two board games based on the "How To Be A Complete Bastard" brand...

After last week's thrilling murder mystery epic, it's back to basics for Paul and Eli on this week's economy comedy podcast! There is a strict "NO CHARACTERS" policy this week as a result, but who knows what happens when push comes to shove. Luckily there is plenty to discover this week when we get a mini Winkie update, reply to some reader emails, dip into the PO Box, tackle a Price of Shite that...

All aboard for a train trip you'll never forget! Although the "Cheap Eats Express" looks luxurious enough, it hides a deadly secret. This week, Paul & Eli board the train, thinking they are in for a nice, relaxing journey... But instead, they will come face to face with a gruesome murder! Who will be that tragic victim? Who is the killer? It's going to be one hell of a journey for the Cheap Chaps,...

The truth can now be revealed, one that Eli has been hiding for far too long. What is it? Well, let's just say you won't be able to look at Breakfast the same way ever again. CheapShow returns for its first proper new episode of 2020 and it's packed with all the usual mad, engrossing, unusual and occasionally informative larks. Paul's takes us to his new pizzeria this week to test some cheap froze...

It's a strange old episode is this! It seems like the whole episode is teetering on the edge on its own barely stable sanity. Will it be Eli's face explosion? Will it be because of the late night recording session that gets to them? Is it thanks to an awful board game based on a terrible TV show? Could it be something to do with the truly demented song choices in Silverman's Platter? Who knows......

It's the start of a new year at CheapShow HQ. Rather than dive straight in to a new episode packed with tat, cheap eats and segments, Paul and Eli have decided to put together a "relaxed fit" episode, where they can take stock of the past 12 months. However, if you think this is going to be a contemplative reflection on 50 odd episodes of he podcast, you are sorely mistaken. In fact, pretty much f...

It's only taken 5 years, but the economy comedy podcast is FINALLY doing it's own knock off version of Charles Dickens' yuletide classic "A Christmas Carol". Expect a reasonably troubling and certainly unique interpretation of the source material. Grumpy old Eli gets the Scrooge treatment this year when Paul decides he needs a visit from 3 ghosts. It's definitely not just Paul dressed up in awful...

It's a cornucopia of crap this week as stakes are heightened, tat is donated and voices are raised. In a surprising turn of events, Paul upgrades The Sauce Report to a full, proper segment. It's a decision he soon learns to regret. Eli gets carried away and things get messy. There is a special Price of Shite this week, donated to our POP Box. It would have made for a great head to head... had Paul...

Stop us if you have heard this one before... Eli is unwell and in a mood and he... OH you HAVE heard this before? Well how do you think Paul feels? Paul is also not happy with Eli's constant use of the word "Thwopage" so Eli needs to up his game. That does not happen this week. Instead, you are treated to a new Tales from the Shop Floor, an amusingly underwhelming Cheap Eats and a return to Paul's...

Oh No! We're going full on nostalgia this week, all because Paul found a beautiful copy of the "Look-In Television Annual 1988" in a Brighton charity shop! So hold on tight as we dive into the sights and sounds of the 80s, with a few dips into the 1970s for good measure. The cheap chaps take on Tomy toys, comedy novelty hits, flop Hollywood movies and the celebrities from the age of excess. As eve...

This week Paul and Eli return to the Country Urban Noodle Test-lab Kitchen for more cheap and cheerful snacks. Eli currently has a thing for "fried noodles", so the cheap chaps take a muddled, manic and testy trip back to the kitchen to see which of this week's selection pass muster! Elsewhere in the House of Pickles, it's yet another round of Price of Shite and this week Paul is VERY proud of his...

It's another day at the House of Pickles and Eli and Paul have met up to deliver another episode of economy comedy goodness. Eli has scraped together another box full of weird and wonderful Cheap Eats and Paul has put together another edition of The Price of Shite: Price Match Edition. It all sounds rather jolly, doesn't it? Well, that's because we aren't telling you about Eli's constant mental br...

CheapShow finally, properly, returns to the House of Pickles for more Economy Comedy "larks"! This week, Paul and Eli take a deep breath and hope for the best as they take a deep dive into the contents of their PO Box. As you can imagine, there are some delights to behold, but also, some truly nightmarish discoveries too. Will the cheap chaps figure out the appeal of “Haw Flakes”? Do the new Garba...

It's that spooky time of the year again and Eli has promised he would spend one night in a haunted house with Paul... And a large group of ghost hunters. Join Paul and Eli for a night of supernatural enquiry and working out a lot of Eli's childhood trauma. Will they capture a ghost? Will they see or hear anything terrifying? Will Eli be a grumpy bastard all night long? Sadly, only one of those que...

In celebration of CheapShow's 150th episode, Eli J Silverman proudly presents an Eli J Silverman Production "Behind The Scandal" which reveals the truth behind the events of the recording of their milestone episode. Ash Frith, Paul Rose (Mr Biffo) and Paul Gannon give their thoughts on what transpired on the night of Thurs 10th of October 2019. In amongst the usual CheapShow larks, the cheap chaps...

Although you have yet to hear it, the fall out from Episode 150 can already be felt in the world of CheapShow. Paul is humiliated and Eli thinks the world should hear the episode and let them be the judge. As a result, Paul takes to following Eli through the streets of London, via acting auditions, farty buses and personal reminisces. Will they actually get around to making an episode this week? W...

This week, you get not one, but TWO Prices of Shite! That’s double the tat, double the guessing and double the arguments! It’s a chance for Eli and Paul to pit their wits against each other with one “classic” PoS and a new “Price Match” edition. Who ever wins, we all lose! It seems this week that Paul may be close to the end of his tether and Eli may be as close to being cockabonkers than ever. An...

Who is Tumpy? That's the eternal question burning at the heart of this week's economy comedy podcast. Paul and Eli think they know exactly what this "Tumpy" is and you will have to suffer through what they create! If the idea of Paul and Eli creating anything new at all is shocking to you, then you may be (quite rightly) scared of the finale of this episode. It's a finale that involves Story Cubes...

Guest Sooz Kempner. Another week, another mad dash through the bargain bins and charity shops of the UK... And this time we are joined by the grotesquely talented Sooz Kempner who has waded into the world of CheapShow unprepared for the pain that awaits... There is a nasty surprise for Eli, Paul is in agony every time he laughs and Gannon's Golden Games becomes less about playing "Treasure Hunt" (...

Another week, another CheapShow and this one may peak too early... We blame Paul's story about a "Birthday Cocaine Guinness World Record Attempt" that we're pretty sure is utter lies. Also, once again, we apologise for the title of this week's episode. It makes sense when you hear it, promise guv'nor! What else can you expect? Well, it's the third and final part of our "care package" trilogy... th...

We had no choice. We had to call the episode this. Blame Eli. It will all make sense. Outside of that embarrassment, it's business as ever. Well, that and it's Paul's birthday! Which Eli has already managed to ruin. This week, we dive into another care package from the USA which is packed with delightful candy and unusual truck stop snacks. The only worry is if Paul ODs on sugar. There is also a r...

The economy podcast attempts this week to give you a classic Price of Shite (No Stings Attached Edition) as well as a deep dive into Eli's box of Trader Joe goods... Sadly, you get a whole feast of loud, sweary and maddening interruptions and diversions instead. Teen Yeti and Adolescent Sasquatch turn up the heat in their rivalry, Paul begins to wonder if Eli is losing his grip on reality and Eli...

It's once again time to "Hit The Moog" with another musically packed episode of CheapShow. This week, Paul and Eli focus on clearing out the backlog of Silverman's Platter to deliver more weird and wonderful musical oddities directly into your ears. We travel from the world of Moog synthesizers to retro 70s orchestral arrangements via a trip to the moon with "Mr Astronaut". There is also look into...
