CheapShow

This one's been brewing for a while... This week, Paul and Eli dust off the second hand Blu-Ray player, grab a dirt cheap movie from a charity shop and give it a proper CheapShow evaluation. However, this film may be too much for the cheap chaps as it is one of Paul's (and soon to be Eli's) most hated films... "A Good Day to Die Hard", the painful 5th entry into the Die Hard franchise. Will it bre...

Another week, another box of crisps to wade through, and this week, they have been sent to us from Australia! Which is nice. What this ultimately means is that Eli will attempt an Australian accent for most of this taste test. It will definitely test Paul's patience, that's for sure. However, this delightful wander through the snack pastures of Down Under will be ruined by a Gannon's Golden Games,...

Oh dear, Paul's been drinking again. This time his excuse is that it's his birthday and he is allowed. Eli is very unimpressed by the state of his podcast co-host, but he battles on regardless! This week, Eli tries to keep the show together and Paul behaves like a naughty boy. It's all rather desperate. However, there IS still economy comedy content. Eli dives into his Cheap Eats hamper to torture...

In a secret chamber, buried deep below the bowels of the podcast, lies a place that will force Paul & Eli to tackle their greatest snack challenge ever! From this moment on, the League of Snacks and Crisps will NEVER be the same again! Dare you resist the opportunity to meet "The Scribe" or even "The Toilet Peeper"? Regretfully, you have no choice. Elsewhere in this week's episode, Eli is given (w...

It's time to relax on the high concept episodes and go back to what we do best... Shouting, screaming, laughing and hunting out the best in cheap high street titbits. This week, Paul and Eli dive back in the box of weird and wonderful vinyl to pull out a mad Moog album, a synth laden trip into space and a groovy sing-along with vintage kids show Play School! Meanwhile, Paul brings along a new Gann...

CheapShow Presents another EPIC episode of the Economy Comedy Podcast... And it's the one you've been waiting for! The magnificent "CheapShow Awards 2020", returning for a 2nd illustrious year! This year, the boys have gone all out and hired a special venue from a nefarious source, brought a certain cryptid rapper out of retirement and there are many special guests along the way. Who will win "Bes...

Paul and Eli are back together in the House of Mash and this week, they pack in a HELL of a lot of content in under 90 minutes. Not only do you get some cheap eats, but you get a dash of tat treasure hunting, a sprinkle of Price of Shite madness and a long awaited dose of Country Urban Noodle Test-Lab Kitchen goodness. This week, Eli dabbles with a few "novelty noodles", Paul dives into a bespoke...

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...

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?...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
