1:37:06

Special Guest: Ria LinaCheapShow 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 w…

Ep 440: The 10th Birthday Office Party 2:59:09

8d ago2:59:09

2:59:09

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…

Ep 439: Boffalongo 1:10:06

15d ago1:10:06

1:10:06

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 al…

Ep 438: A Box Of Delights 1:27:40

22d ago1:27:40

1:27:40

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 thr…

The award winning podcast returns for another episode packed with cheap thrills and cheap laughs!

1:15:45

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 supp…

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. Cheap…

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.

Oh Boy Howdy have we got noodles for you this week! Eli is frothing with anticipation because he’s got three cup noodles to blitz through AND he’s managed to get his little claws on two new noodle/pasta hybrid meals.

After last week’s epic walkabout/Gannon’s Golden Games hybrid episode, it’s time to calm things down again. What this episode doesn’t need is violent meltdowns, stupid new characters, an appalling improvised song and useless conversational tangents… Sadly that’s exactly what you can expect in this week’s edition of the economy comedy podcast. It’s …

They just thought they’d pop into Norwich, record a bit of a walkabout and then meet with guest Stuart Ashen for a quick Gannon’s Golden Games. Instead, it became something much bigger than planned. Join…

1:34:59

Sometimes Paul and Eli make mistakes, and that’s fine. That’s part of the cut and thrust of making CheapShow. However, sometimes they need to ask themselves just how many mistakes they should really be making in one episode alone. This week, they make a lot. Eli annoys Paul right from the start and the resulting fall out will only prolong their col…

He joins Paul and Eli at the Soho Radio Podcast Studios for what turns out to be 90 minutes of rants, shouting, repulsion, audio torture and awkward conversations. Once again, Eli seems to be feeling poorly as he croaks and squeaks thro…

Last week, Paul and Eli gave themselves the challenge of finding six typical pieces of CheapShow tat in just a few hours, in the charity shops of Watford High Street. This week… they are going to share and review their findings. It’s a little more random than usual as the items range from the mundane to the bizarre. Along the way, they’ll bounce fr…

It’s time for another “Tat Hunt” episode, we think. It’s been too long, that’s for sure. This week, Paul and Eli take to the mean streets of Watford to scour the charity shops for 6 items to bring into next week’s charity shop item face-off! In CheapShow’s history, most of the items discovered in charity shops fall into six categories and it’s up t…

It’s been promised for a long time, but as it’s episode 420, it makes sense for Paul and Eli to finally tackle a topic that celebrates the joy and pain of enjoying weed. Whatever you call it, Weed. Marijuana. Bud. Grass. Ganja. Nug. Reefer. Mary Jane. Blunt. Dank. Hashish. Doobie. Pot, CheapShow is talking about it. It’s no secret that the Cheap Ch…

There is plenty of tat to sift though and some of it happens to be a little bit techy. Eli will have to guess the cost of a charity shop sourced neck fan, a tinker’s magic set, a nifty little magnifying…

Paul is not in the mood this week. He isn’t in the mood to be a podcaster. He isn’t in the mood to have a laugh. He isn’t in the mood for Eli. He isn’t in the mood for Eli’s vocal “chuntering” and all he IS in the mood for is a nap. Obviously, Eli loves this fact and is going to great pleasure in soaking up all of Paul’s self-loathing.
