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.

Episodes

Ep 42: Friendship Time 05.05.2017

It's a good old fashioned, back to basics, episode! Just Paul and Eli chatting, shouting and occasionally finding common ground. In episode 42, find out what happens when Paul suggests a new "friendly" feature with the exchanging of gifts! Eli brings back some (not so) delightful snacks from America and he also delivers some choice and not at all annoying Tales from the Dance Floor. Finally, we di...

Live! From The Bill Murray in London, Paul & Eli present a reasonably special episode of CheapShow with Mr Special Guest himself, Stuart Ashen!

Ep 34: Mr Biscuits 09.02.2017

Ep 32: Silent Night Soil 21.12.2016

Silent Night Soil. Holy Night Soil. All is calm. All is shite. There is nothing special about this "so called" Christmas Special. No magical stories. No high production values. No musical interludes. It's just Paul, Eli and some utter pointless crap. Some of it happens to be Christmas related, but don't get too excited. It's basically a regular episode. We also hear about some of history's biggest...

It's another Scrapbook of Crap... And this time it's personal!

Ep 25: Attack Of The Life Hacks! 13.07.2016

You ask Eli to do ONE thing! Create an original segment for the show and he shows up with piss poor life hacks. Paul is not impressed. Don't worry though.

SHOCK HORROR!!! Finally, Eli falls in love with a You Tube celeb...

Ep 24: Look-In Magazines Rool OK 28.06.2016

Ep 21: The Berenstain Bears Conspiracy 11.05.2016

Welcome to CheapShow! Well... What should've been a short and sweet little feature on just how much your old 80s & 90s toys could be worth quickly turns into a messy tangential omni-shambles.  Eli and Paul end up talking less about the toys and more about which rock bands became crappy ballad merchants, cheesy crisps and whether we are all living in a alternate dimension simply because people can'...
