CheapShow
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. We apologise in advance! www.thecheapshow.co.uk

Blimey, something amazing has come in the post! After weeks of waiting, Eli and Paul get their hands on a test pressing of the CheapShow album, which would be exciting if it wasn’t for the awkward threat of Mr Postie! It’s not the only thing that has come in the post either! There is a USA flavoured “Price of Shite”, or rather “Cost of Crud”, this week! The question it raises is “Can Eli continue his hot streak?” and how much will ...

It was a mistake to record on one of the very hottest days of the year. However, the show must go on, even if involves sitting in a small room as the heat melts Paul & Eli’s brains. Paul does have a plan though! He reckons after a slew of epic length episodes; they can afford to throw out another “real time” 60 minute romp that should make everyone happy. As an extra bonus, because it’s so ruddy sweltering, why not spend the episod...

Five years ago, Paul & Eli went for a day trip out to Brighton, to say it didn’t go well may be a bit of an understatement. To celebrate their 10th Birthday, CheapShow is going back again to do it properly… Whatever that means! Paul is determined to truly soak up all the fun of the seaside by being as sober as a judge and Eli has a few ideas in mind for things to do that are all truly awful. What begins as an aimless a...

Special Guest: Ria Lina
CheapShow is dabbling in a “little bit of politics” this week when Paul and Eli are joined by special guest, Ria Lina! In a new “Gannon’s Golden Games” segment, Paul pulls out a board game based on the topical comedy panel show “Have I Got News For You!”, so luckily the politics and news stories only go up to 2005. Who wins will be anyone’s guess! There is also the added bonus that Ria has appeared on HIGNFY...

Somehow, someway, CheapShow has lasted a full decade. Ten whole years of tat and treasure, rants and raves, and adventure and abhorrent behaviour across 440 wonderfully mucky episodes! To celebrate the past 3652.5 days of economy comedy, Paul and Eli are doing exactly what you expect them to do… Drink an unnecessarily large amount of booze and bask in their own genius! Over the course of the next three hours, you’ll bear witness to...

There is only ONE WEEK left until CheapShow turns 10 years old! A magnificent achievement considering Paul and Eli didn’t think the show was last 50 episodes. All they have to do this week is survive one very simple edition of The Price Of Shite without fighting, threats, verbal violence and underhanded behaviour. If they can do that, then maybe all will be OK. Sadly, it’s not looking good for the Cheap Chaps as the show starts ver...

Sometimes the CheapShow PO Box is full of all sorts of horrors and shocks, but this week on the economy comedy podcast, there is a refreshing change of pace. A MASSIVE PO Box delivery offers a wide range of charity shop surprises, ranging from super rare board games and fascinating books to delightful 7 Inch vinyl records! There is a LOT to get through, so there is no messing about as Paul and Eli dive deep in the box of treats… We...

The award winning podcast returns for another episode packed with cheap thrills and cheap laughs! This week, Paul and Eli are dipping their toes into the murky waters of “Silverman’s Platters” to review three strange musical charity shop discoveries. There is quite the variety ranging from cheesy Dutch Moog arrangements to soul sapping ballads sung by a soap opera loser! There is even time for a dash of post-punk novelty too. Which...

Somehow, against all the odds, CheapShow has finally won something! Paul & Eli are in high spirits this week as they celebrate their recent “Golden Lobes” podcast awards win! It was a fantastic moment that was only 10 years in the making. This success probably won’t go to their heads. At all. It’s a bit of a wordy episode this week, as Paul is supplying two books for his “Page Turners” segment. His charity shop discoveries involve ...

It’s been a month of walkabout adventures, game shows and another character retrospective, so it’s about time that Eli and Paul got back into CheapShow HQ for another 75 minutes of cheap laughs! It’s a “back to basics” episode where Eli gets to have his way with the content, forcing more sauces and snacks into the show than Paul can tolerate. CheapShow gets to sample a new and unusual flavour of Pringles that has a high bar to clea...

When the sun is shining this brightly in the London sky, Paul and Eli refuse to stay cooped up inside CheapShow HQ… So, they are out and about (yes again!) to go on an aimless wander through another corner of London. This time they’ve decided, for no good reason, to explore Nunhead Cemetery, one of London’s “Magnificent 7” cemeteries.

After two weeks away in America, Eli arrives back in one piece and ready to go with a grab bag of tat and tasty treats to foist upon his co-host. He’s brought with him a few snacks to wrap their tongues around and a special USA flavoured “Price of Shite” … Sorry, “The Cost of Crud”, as Eli would prefer to call it. To make matters more pointless, he decides that points are not “p’twings” this week and instead they are “p’twangs”. Wh...

It’s another week, it’s another familiar episode packed with tat, snacks and … Pardon? Who’s that at the door. Who? Grumpy Sessions you say? Why has he got a big box of VHS tapes with him?
Fine.
Let him in.
Whatever he wants to show us, shouldn’t take too long.
Paul and Eli are going to have to tolerate Grumpy’s return to the show this week.

Eli is off to America to celebrate his 50th birthday and so Paul has requested an easy edit, so it’s time for another uncut, rambling and ranting edition of the economy comedy podcast. Thanks to another PO Box delivery, they have plenty to wade though to score those delicious p’twings! There’s some kitchen...
