CheapShow

"Hello, My name (snuffle snuffle) is Grumpy Sessions and I am here to introduce episode 91 of CheapShow to you. Eli and Paul graciously asked me to write the blurb for this episode and i am more than happy to do so (snuffle snuffle). So what can you expect? Well, Paul was mean to me, so i don't want anything to do with him, but Eli was very nice and has a very interesting collection of vinyl recor...

It's been a long time coming, but we are returning to "Life Hacks" in this week's episode. However, we asked our audience to suggest them and, well, we may have made a mistake. Eli is especially critical of some of them, so apologies in advance. We do, instead, discover 3 simple phrases to live by and uncover a creepy little perk Eli is willing to offer if you see him DJing. So what else happens,...

Apparently, Eli thinks there is not enough love for celery! That's where episode 89 begins and only gets more bizarre! We returns to the world of dead animals in Tales from the Shop Floor and the return of CSI: CheapShow Charity Shop Crime Scene: Dead Pet Edition... which will definitely be a spin off one day. Sadly. There are more cheap eats to "enjoy" that takes us from lemon biscuits to cock-li...

Enough is enough! We have to end this relationship with Noel Edmonds, one way or the other... and it's not going to be pretty! Paul and Eli finally lift the flaps of Britain's most infamous and cuddly light entertainer's private life and get stuck into some of the more untoward parts of his career. Hopefully we may never need travel back to Crinkly Bottom again. However, it's not all Noel talk thi...

You will like this magical edition of CheapShow... Not A Lot! Paul and Eli delve into the world of illusions, tricks and conjuring when they come across a range of cheap children's magic sets. They also discover a reasonably rare magic instructional album from TV's very own Paul Daniels who poses a conundrum that pisses Paul right off! Along the way, Paul calls Eli's stumpy hands into question, El...

It's a scorcher of an episode in more ways than one! The heat is getting to Paul & Eli and tempers are rising... who will snap first? Who will lash out? Who will say something they regret?  Episode 86 is packed with quality content. Oh boy howdy, is it! We have another food package sent to the House of Pickles, stuffed with American cheap eats. One particular snack has quite the shock in store! El...

Do you wanna have a bit of fun? Shall we have a bit of fun? OK. Let's do it! In episode 85 Paul & Eli bend over backwards to have a super duper fun time and YOU can join us. How much fun is there? Lots. We have super fun pretending to be hard bitten detectives when a Tales from the Shop Floor inspires the cheap chaps to go overboard on the over acting. There is a even a wicked fun Price of Shite t...

Food, Glorious Food! It's time to stuff more cheap eats inside our gob holes and deal with the consequences later. We continue our odyssey of oral nourishment by finishing off our American snack hamper, and Eli becomes positively fizzy with delight at some of the treats on offer... Maybe TOO fizzy. Elsewhere, Paul throws all continuity out of the window when he attempts to bring life to yet anothe...

How many characters can CheapShow sustain? Has Paul created one too many pointless, annoying characters? Eli seems to think so, in this, our magnificent 83rd episode! It's all the usual larks and laughter, covering all your favourite segments... and even some you probably hate too. We have Tales from the Dancefloor, "Mi Casa, Su Casa", Cheap Eats and The Price of Shite. It's a ruddy packed show! E...

Noel Edmonds. The man, the myth, the beard. Is he a talented, misunderstood, everyman of the entertainment world? Or just a mad, desperate lunatic who feels he should be considerably more famous? You decide... As we finally tackle the topic that's been hanging over us for so long. In this episode, Paul & Eli look at Noel's beginnings, read a rather crap interview with Noel from a 1975 Top of the P...

Aren't radio DJs amazing? Aren't they brilliant? With their wacky banter, comfy demeanor and desperate need to be loved... Paul & Eli cover 2 very different, but very infamous examples when they pick up a copy of the "Top of the Pops 1975 Annual" at a local charity shop and delve within its pages! Episode 81 also contains a marvellous Tales from the Shop Floor that, for once, doesn't contain human...

CheapShow has (somehow) been going for 3 years! So why not check out this very special edition of the economy comedy podcast, as we attempt to turn the podcast in to a full blown TV channel? 7.00pm: Top of Pops With music from Dire Concerns, The Spunk Mothers, Labian Caves... and Russ Abott 7.30pm: CheapShow TV Show Board Game Special Paul, Eli & Ash take on some of Britain's best TV game shows wi...

Yup. It's another CheapShow. You love it. Same old, same old! Ask Silverman? Check! Price of Shite? Check! League of Snacks? Check! Paul & Eli hurling insults back and forth, with verbal violence and threats of something worse lurking in the shadows? Check! Along the way they rant about mixtapes, hipsters, hot nuts, sexy lady pictures, recordable paper and Eli has even promised a "mindblowing" edi...

Who is Jimmy Biscuits? Well, whoever he is, Eli is NOT impressed by his appearance. Paul may be TOO impressed. It's a big, fat chunky episode of the world's only (probably) economy comedy podcast. We have a show packed with Tales from the Shop Floor, Eli's Top Three, Cheap Eats and we even cram in a board game too. If you wanted to know what the best kind of cheap Bombay Mix is, what Iced Tea to w...

Episode 77 is a literal "hot mess"! Not only in terms of what the CheapShow chaps get up to, but also what fair-weather co-host Ash Frith forces down their throats! Eli seems to think Paul's heart's not in it, whereas Paul feels Eli is being too critical. Ash just has to sit there and watch Mummy & Daddy fight.  It's a packed show, with a tonne of great cheapshow goodness. There is a rather reveal...

You want Moog? Oh boy, do we have Moog for you! Silverman's Platter goes all electronically wibbly wobbly this week with some joyous and also frankly demented music. Fairweather co-host Ash Frith joins Paul and Eli for a show that covers all he usual bases. Want to know what Eli thinks about sloppy noodles, wasps and what he once found in his poop? Well, you can find out in an "old skool" #AskSilv...

Paul Rose, Mr Biffo himself, returns in Part Two of this epic clusterfuck of an episode! It's packed with delights, shocks, rants, jokes and highly disturbing imagery! Just what you crave. Keith the Mummified Mole returns to cause more stomach churning moments and Eli may be getting a little TOO attached to it. Mr Biffo shares with us his memories of early gaming romances, childhood shoplifting an...

They said it shouldn't happen. They said it could happen... But it has happened! Digitiser2000's Paul Rose, Mr Biffo himself, joins Paul & Eli for part one of a two part CheapShow special! Although we try to keep it on a retro video games theme, don't expect much video game talk, as there may be many ugly, weird, upsetting and hilarious tangents on the way. MARVEL at the foul gift Mr Biffo brings!...

Puppets! Those cuddly, friendly creatures that help us learn a valuable lesson or give us a proper chuckle. In this episode of CheapShow, Paul & Eli discover a rage unheard of when one particular puppet angers them whilst watching "Don't Make That Trash"! You can (almost) listen along with them as they provide the commentary for another vexxing video. However, before we can get to all that, why no...

"Can I have a vowel please Carol?" And with those immortal words, CheapShow dives into another TV show board game classic as the cheap chaps play a round or two of Countdown! One that doesn't go according to someone's very particular plans! Before all that though, there are many things to enjoy first! Marvel as Paul & Eli discuss the bliss of owning a Generation Game toy! Fear their chat on being...

This HAS to be the last time we do this, right? It can't still be popular? It's just two guys having mental meltdowns! However, you demanded it and so here it is. It's back... The dreaded "Don't Get Mad" game returns in all its horrific glory and we are pretty sure this is the final one. Possibly. Before all that though, why not take in the lovely sounds of Paul & Eli discussing all things tat and...

We promise, we will never talk about Russ Abbott's singing career again. Mostly because we have run out of stuff to criticise! In Episode 70 we take one last dip into the world of cheesy light entertainment music and discover a long long Abbott "classic". We also find something MUCH worse. A rare vinyl single. Introduced by "rumoured human" Noel (Tidy Beard) Edmonds. It's not good. Elsewhere in ev...

The episode that nearly wasn't! But we rescued it! It's been a long time coming, but finally, Paul & Eli begin to put together their long awaited "League of Snacks" has begun to curate it's collection of snacks and crisps for review. It will be the most important thing of all time ever! Where will your favourite snack end up ranked? But before all that, it's the usual CheapShow madness... We have...

Following on from the fallout of the infamous SEX episode, Ash is feeling considerably left out that no one wanted to write him into one of the sordid tales of CheapShow nookie... So Paul vamps one, much to Eli's chagrin. Ash then goes on to tell us about his vegan adventures in Rome, discovers who is in charge of penieses at the Vatican and what a little pooping statue means. Elsewhere, Eli is ty...

It's finally here! The episode you have either craved... or feared... The SEX episode. As you can imagine, the contents of this podcast can be quite blunt and graphic at times, so please listen with that caution ringing in your brain! If you decide to listen, then be prepared to hear about sexual firsts, personal proclivities, shocking revelations and more! Eli and Paul delve into Poundland's bran...
