It's come to our attention that Paul has been "acting out" of late. His violent outburst have brought a dark cloud over this delicious economy comedy podcast and things have to change. With that in mind, let's see what happens when Eli is allowed to do whatever he wants. Paul just needs to count to 10. In a worst case scenario, he's allowed to sing and maybe even create a new character or two. Fra...

Special Guest: Stuart Ashen. This week Tat Lord and YouTube botherer Stuart "Ashens" Ashen finally agrees to rejoin the CheapShow chaps for another edition of the economy comedy podcast. To celebrate, Paul and Eli pull out all the stops and gift him with something both delightful and painful. Merry yet depressing. Random yet straight laced. Yes, we are granting Stuart the gift of "Derek: The Story...

There was no way in hell that Paul and Eli intended to talk about naff 80s novelty band "Black Lace" for any longer than 5 minutes or so... 35 minutes later and they are still forensically trying to figure out what the point of Black Lace is. We may never know. Elsewhere in the Land of the Platters, we finally get a second dose of Russ Abbott with songs taken from his Manhouse TV vinyl... Which ma...

CheapShow would like to apologize for this edition of everyone's favourite economy comedy podcast. CheapShow would like to warn you about the contents of this week's show. CheapShow suggests you skip this week's Tales from the Shop Floor. CheapShow does not recommend eating this much hot sauce. Finally, CheapShow ran out of things to do this week... So consulted the CheapShow Handbook. What follow...

It's too hot to record in the festering House of Pickles this week, so the Cheap Chaps move next door to the slightly more pleasant House of Sausage and Eggs. Once there, the heat rises and tempers overflow, so expect the usual rants, meltdowns and overuse of the word "thwopage". The only way they can cool down is to take a trip to visit the Soda Jerk Man and try out some of his fizzy, frothy, che...

Higher, higher? Lower, Lower? In this week's edition of CheapShow, Paul challenges Eli to an epic edition of "The Price of Shite" that will spin wildly out of control at various points and then limp to a finale. The usual. It's a special "Rank Me Off" edition that will involve the cheap chaps getting off on clicking sounds, exposing their dark truths, showing off their dark magic skills, pretendin...

CheapShow apologises for the temporary malfunction and break down of Eli J Silverman, co-host on this very podcast. Although his faculties clear throughout the episode, it's important to note that Eli is still in early beta stages as a human. We hope this doesn't affect your enjoyment of this week's episode. Elsewhere in the show, we get a long overdue "Tales from the Shop Floor", some delightful...

Grab your sunscreen, slap on your sunglasses and suck on an ice cream... We're going to the seaside! Welcome to the first ever "Office Day Trip To Brighton" and come along with Paul and Eli as they soak up the sun, the drink, the shops and the sea front. It's an epic episode, one packed with surprises, both delightful and horrific, as well as panic attacks, bathroom accidents, word salad and a qui...

Special Guest: Ken Reid. Paul is fresh back from his trip to Los Angeles and has brought with him (not only) a bumper crop of American Cheap Eats, but also Boston-based stand up comedian, Ken Reid. Eli is treated to a kaleidoscope of flavour as he devours hot nuts, spicy sausage, chilli gummies, cheesy chips and gets an added Sauce Report in there too! Elsewhere in the show, Paul brings out the bi...

What mysteries lie in the infamous Crab Bucket? What surprises does it bestow? Frankly, not many. However it is just one of the delights featured in this week's "almost classic game play rules" edition of The Price of Shite. Elsewhere in the episode Paul and Eli delve in to the mucky history of London once again to discover about the lives of "Pure Finders" and how a few dodgy streets got their na...

"Tingle-Lingle-Ling" Why, it's the sound of the Froth Shoppe doorbell ringing! So that must mean it's time to go back to the most special, most wonderful and most affordable sweet shop in Londro! It's a sweet tooth's dream this week and Paul and Eli dedicate a whole episode to fizzy delights, frothy surprises and fruity consumables. The cheap chaps revisit candy from their past, slurp down unusual...

It's time to raid the DVD/Blu-Ray Bargain Bins and hunt for a piece of cinematic art that can be bought for a few pounds or even pence. In a change to the usual madness, Eli and Paul decided to choose a cheap movie to watch, discuss it and, hopefully, have a bit of fun... What happens instead is that the very fabric of CheapShow itself was held under a terrible scrutiny and leads to a very real an...

It's another extra chunky economy comedy podcast, jam packed with gifts, gaffs and garbage. On this week's episode the cheap chaps explore a bit of comedy rapping when they uncover 4 odd vinyl selections on Silverman's Platter. They cover snot, stuttering, stand up routines and, err, Hitler... Which is lovely. Elsewhere, Paul flies back to the Country Urban Noodle Kitchen to see what's cooking and...

An impromptu recording session means that Paul and Eli find themselves thrown into the midst of a hastily arranged episode. How do they cope in the new exciting studio at Soho Radio? Will the passing London public look in and be bemused by every stupid face we pull? And will Eli cream his pants over a new online discovery? How about you find out in this week's episode. It's basically a double Pric...

This week, CheapShow HQ makes the following statement: "Paul Gannon would like to formally apologize for his behaviour in this week's episode of CheapShow. Despite arranging a delightful trip to "flexi disc" land in Silverman's Platters and discovering a fun video game based board game... Paul sadly ruined it all. Ruined it because he decided to taste the "Green Wine". Please do not drink what Pau...

CheapShow has often been described as a little bit "random", so let's go full on random by introducing a BRAND NEW FORMAT (that definitely isn't ripping off other similar ideas on YouTube)! Paul & Eli delicately introduce the "Random Craptor (Pick N Mix Edition)" this week in an effort to spice up the show. It really doesn't work. There are 8 mystery objects in a bag that will be randomly investig...

After a few extraordinary weeks, it's back to the usual, humdrum, regular old CheapShow format... No wacky characters (well...), no crazy sound effects (kinda...) and lots of bickering, fighting and laughing (the same old, same old). In this week's episode, Paul and Eli discuss the awards fallout, take a trip down memory lane discussing Frank Sidebottom, force down some Turnip Juice and lament the...

It's the Podcast Event of the Year! It's the first (possibly) CheapShow Choice Awards 2019, as voted for by the CheapShow audience. So this is all your fault! Join Paul and Eli at the "Spoff & Pickle Pub" for an awards show with a difference. It's crap. The guests are angry and trapped in the toilets, the booked entertainment is horrific, the hosts are incompetent and the categories are contentiou...

In this week's episode Paul and Eli discover Incoming Transmission ...Our last ever episode will It's another episode of the economy comedy podcast! This week, Gannon and Biffo once again look at another strange book called which will get you clenching! ...and in another Gannon's Golden Games, we investigate "Dark Tower" and ponder, "Is this the best Charity Shop Find ever on CheapShow?" ...As wel...

"Gather round children, for we have something to say About a strange 80s comedian by the name of Roy Jay. He released an odd album, with music galore So why is its content an almighty bore?" RIGHT, enough rhyming! What else is in the podcast this week? Well, in an interesting turn of events, Paul and Eli are swapping segments. Eli grabs some random candy for "Silverman's Spoff Shop" and Paul snags...

It's time to get your pimp on! Your Noodle Pimp on (whatever that means)! This week, Paul takes another magical trip to Eli's "Country Urban Noodle Testlab (Kitchen)" to get a lesson in how to spice up a regular, boring old instant noodle. The results may surprise you. Elsewhere in the world's best economy comedy podcast, there is a full fat edition of "The Price of Shite" that bounces from kitche...

"Ello, ello, ello! What's all this then?" In this week's economy comedy podcast, Paul & Eli play as Cops & Robbers in a shabby, confusing race through the streets of London... Kinda! It's another Gannon's Golden Games segment as they get to grips with the classic chase game "Scotland Yard". There is also a bumper edition of Silverman's Platter which contains an energy saving anthem, a sickly balla...

We were warned there were more stories to tell. We knew it wasn't over. We were promised something more bizarre than The Brookeside Tiger... and we think we got it, whether we like it or not! With thanks to @VGBasementUK we've got another delightful/terrifying tale from the mind of "Derek" and this one, for reasons you will soon find out, we've called "The Bone Hoover". Elsewhere in CheapShowVille...

It's Part Two of Tat Hunt! Paul & Eli return home to the House of Pickles with their East Finchley Booty to see who made the best charity shop discoveries. What sugary treats did Paul discover for the Froth Shop? What gets Eli deeply upset and jealous? Who will reign victorious in the first ever "Price of Shite VS Battle!" and also we discover two new characters... That we hope to never perform ag...

Something a little different this week as we launch "Tat Hunt". This is Part One of a Two Part series where Eli and Paul pick a place in the UK to hunt for charity shop treasure, gather their wares and then prepare them for next week's reveal! So, because Paul & Eli are lazy, they went someone close in location and close to their heart... East Finchley in North London. A place they both lived at o...
