CheapShow

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

One of them will find a few truly tasty bits of tat that will amaze and amuse...

As 2025 prepares its end, Paul and Eli turn their attention to the big yuletide knees up… The Office Christmas Party! For their 7th boozy do, Paul wants to do something a little different, at least to start! They head out to a little village pub and get a few drinks in early, before attempting to get back to “La Maison Hantee Sur La Colline A Harrow” for the party proper.

Ep 465: The Best Thing

December 4, 2025 • 69 mins
Sometimes on CheapShow, things can get TOO exciting at times. This week is probably not one of those times as Paul and Eli put “thick white sliced bread” to the Off Brand/Brand Off test! Four loaves of supermarket basic white bread will be chewed and reviewed by self-proclaimed supertaster, Eli J Silverman! Which will come out on top – the name brand leader or the budget supermarket equivalent? The results may surprise you… But pro...

Ep 464: Quaffle

November 27, 2025 • 72 mins
Hey everyone! You’ll all be using the word “Quaffle” soon. All the cool kids will be spouting “Quaffle”, we guarantee it! What does it mean? Does it matter? The fact is that Paul has come up with it and he’s desperately trying to make it stick. In fact, it’s all Paul can do with week, as Eli has been promised he can talk about sauces again. In an all new Sauce Report, Mr Silverman brings along a few new discoveries that have tickle...

Ep 463: Mess Express

November 20, 2025 • 65 mins
Although Paul & Eli have sworn off getting anything from Temu, Ali Express or Wish, that doesn’t stop our listeners! Whether that’s for good or for ill. This week, CheapShow HQ has been sent something via the PO Box (details below) and its jam packed with Ali Express (and charity shop) treats and, in some cases, horrors. Not only do the Cheap Chaps have a few awesome presents to be grateful for (thank you Obie!), but there is an Al...

Ep 462: Munchos By Proxy

November 13, 2025 • 76 mins
Paul threatens to reduce his word count down to 25 words this week, but Eli is desperately having none of it. He just wants a nice, normal episode of CheapShow. But when as CheapShow ever been nice and normal? On this week’s episode, Eli is obsessed with assonance and tongue-twisters for no good reason, a package from New Zealand offers a lot to munch over and Paul has discovered an old board game based on the career of UK comedian...

Ep 461: 50 Words

November 6, 2025 • 54 mins
Now that some BIG episodes of the podcast are behind them, Paul and Eli can now get back to “normal” and get stuck into some delicious “Cheap Eats” and maybe savour a musical oddity or two! They were both gifted with a few wonderful things after the live show, so let’s dive into a box of crazy candy and taste its delights. There are fizzy chocolate bars to nibble, cheesy nuts to munch and odd sour liquids to guzzle down, but will a...

October 9, 2025 • 66 mins
This is not the episode we were expecting to put out! This week SHOULD’VE been a Tat Hunt episode but a technical disaster made it impossible for us to release until the audio was rescued. With a bit of luck, next week we will have the walkabout adventure we were super happy with and sad we may have lost forever! Until then, Paul and Eli had to do something this week, so they dove back into the “recording studio” to somehow pull a ...

Ep 456: Don't Call It A Comeback

Ep 455: Helm's Deep

Special Guest: Nick Helm For some reason, Nick Helm was keen to come back on to the podcast and, well, who are Paul and Eli to deny him the experience of more economy comedy catastrophe? In a more than chunky episode, Nick is subjected to numerous rants, mindless meltdown moments of madness and wade through his fair share of tat. Eli has come prepared with a bag of goodies, and quite possibly the worst joke he’s ever told in the po...

It’s time to get our platters out on CheapShow this week! Paul & Eli have unearthed a few comedy albums from the once popular Grumbleweeds musical troupe! Who are these gentlemen? Where they any good? Has their material aged well? Will we get annoyed listening to “There’s No Business Like Show Business” over and over and over? A quick listen to their output should answer a few of those questions! Elsewhere in this week’s episode, P...
