Ep 357: To Thrift And Buy In LA

E

Years in the planning, CheapShow is finally leaving the UK and heading across the Atlantic ocean to explore the city of angels itself, Los Angeles! In a very special episode, Paul and Eli explores the many nooks and crannies of LA in an adventure that takes them over an extremely large, and particularly varied city. Along the way, they'll take a walk along Santa Monica pier, explore 3rd Street Promenade for a thrift store, hunt for the Winkie billboard location, try to escape Hollywood and a few other odd surprises too. Paul thinks being in LA makes him a better person, Eli doesn't believe it and just wants to find a place to have a smoke! It's Part One of "The LA Trilogy" of CheapShow adventures!

Ep 356: A Log In The Gob

E

There's just one week before we reveal our Los Angeles adventures to the podcast world, so before then, let's dive into some more good, old-fashion Cheapshow goodness! Firstly, an email to the podcast shines a whole new light on a Silverman's Platter track they discussed a few weeks ago. Paul and Eli learn a little more about "Dog and Bone" by Johnny and the Ansaphones, that both surprises and delights! The Cheap Chaps also cover a game for Gannon's Golden Games that is a spin on a VERY familiar classic. Wordle may have some competition. However, on the off chance that it's not very interesting, Paul has a pretty awful plan to try and sex the segment up. Finally, Eli is on Off Brand/Brand Off duties when McCoy's crisps goes up against a much cheaper interloper. Beware the Quirf!

Ep 355: Cocklenuts

E

Time is tight this week because Paul has no intention of spending hours editing the podcast when there is a trip to Los Angeles to plan! As a result, this is another one of those “real time” episode, one hour of solid, uncut, barely sensical, almost delirious, economy comedy action. What can they cram in to those precious 60 minutes? Well, firstly they try to guzzle down some unusual sodas. There’s a delicious new Mountain Dew to savour and Fanta have brought out another bloody “mystery” flavour? Can the cheap chaps figure it out? Of course not! Secondly, there’s a Price of Shite to tackle too! It’s rammed with awful items for Eli to guess the costs of. Finally, why is Paul acting like Eli and what is Cocklenuts? It’s a speed run version of CheapShow! So hold on tight, as once we start, we don’t stop until the hour is up!

Ep 354: The Winkie Strikes Back

E

Just when you weren’t expecting it… BAM… More Winkie news! It’s been a few years since our epic documentary “Ep 181: Winkie: The Untold Story” and we were recently informed of not one, but TWO developments to what we already know! Thanks to the incredible work of Ivenne, and the translations skills of Markus Lindstrom, we have something a little special this week. There’s a recently discovered video on YouTube (see the video on the accompanying webpage for this episode) that contains footage from a French TV series, recorded in 1985, that shows the infamous Winkie billboard competition in action. However, with it being in French, Paul has had a clever idea… and it’s going to involve calling on some of the CheapShow family to help out! And yet there is even more new Winkie news than that! To top things off, Eli has more platters to share, one of which may be the rarest record they’ve ever discovered. But just because it’s rare, doesn’t mean it’s going to be any good. It’s a surprisingly packed episode, it even comes with a Singing Postman!

Ep 353: Noodles and Mooncakes

E

In a happy happenstance, this week’s episode falls on National Noodle Day, and to celebrate Eli and Paul have managed to get their hands on something a little bit special. Only available in Japan, the Nissin company have released two new products designed to appeal to “gamers”, the Gaming Cup Noodle Energy Garlic & Black Pepper Yakisoba and the Gaming Curry Meshi Energy Ginger Keema Curry. How will they fair with the UK’s self-proclaimed noodle super tasters? The cheap chaps are also gifted with some very special Chinese treats when a lovely listener sends them a range of mooncakes. Although a wonderful snack, Paul is going to have a very violent falling out with one of them. But which one? As ever, the answers can be found in this episode of CheapShow!

Ep 352: Dr Pepper's Flavoured Soda Cans

E

If there is one thing we love on CheapShow, it’s the Charity Shop Showcase. It’s the part of the show where we can spend a little more cash and show off something weird or wonderful. This week Eli has found something Pirates of the Caribbean shaped, and Paul has a Kenny Everett annual from 1981. Which will join the “showcase” and which will end up in “no place”? There is also a rather curious challenge ahead for the Cheap Chaps. They’ve been sent a range of Dr Peppers, each with an unusual flavour twist. Can Eli differentiate between the many variations, or does it all taste the bloody same? To make things a bit spicier, Paul is well up for a fight this week, which Eli finds unnecessary!

Ep 351: Reboot

E

Now that the dust has settled on the apocalyptic 350th episode, Paul and Eli can now concentrate on delivering great podcast entertainment. It’s time to reboot! They’re going to be more mainstream, more approachable, and far less crass from now on! At least that’s the plan. As ever with CheapShow, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It doesn’t take long for all the bad habits to roll back in, in fact they barely get past the cold open! Luckily, there is a great “Price of Shite” to investigate, kindly sent into us by the folk at the Killer Rabbit podcast. There’s also a surprisingly difficult “Off Brand/Brand Off” for Eli to take on. Are the knock-off Pop Tarts, Top Twists, better than their more recognisable competitor? Or are Pop Tarts pretty horrible to begin with? As ever, take a dive in at the deep end and indulge in more economy comedy podcast goodness.

Ep 349: Dream Guest

E

Special Guest: Gareth Reynolds Things are looking up for Paul and Eli this week. The big wedding is just around the corner and Thrift Pod has been defeated! To celebrate, Paul ruminates on the dream guest for CheapShow and imagines what it would be like if comedian Gareth Reynolds was on the show. Sadly, this means that the only thing that can ruin this experience is his own imagination. Which it then proceeds to do. Poor Gareth is subjected to perverted personal electric blankets, a rude and vulgar board game, an album from 1980s icon Roland Rat and wraps it all up with a book that seemed more exciting when Paul first saw it… But in actual fact? It doesn’t go well. Along the way, Gareth will learn about “posh wanks”, Kunt and the Gang and tell us all about the Milwaukee Milverine! Thankfully, it’s all in Paul’s head. Or is it?

Ep 348: The Custard Note

E

Things are tough at CheapShow HQ, their rival podcast clone, Thrift Pod, is casting a long shadow over Paul & Eli and they wonder if their beloved economy comedy podcast can survive much longer! In a decision that definitely won’t bite them in the ass later on down the road, they agree to let Richard Brandoff sort the situation out, once and for all. On the off chance he is successful, what will his act of revenge cost the cheap chaps? While they wait for Brandoff to put his plan in action, it’s time to delve into doing what Paul and Eli do best. Whatever that is! This week, they have two weirdly flavoured hot sauces to sample, one of which takes Paul by surprise. There is also a chance to down some booze when they discover a range of Northern Monk ales that tastes like a range of Aunt Bessie desserts… and a roast dinner. It can’t be that bad, right? Do they taste… custardy?

Ep 347: Thrift Pod

E

Whilst Paul and Eli have carried on regardless, there have been nefarious plans developing in the background and its not good news for the “much loved” economy comedy podcast. Following the shocking events of Red Nob Day, Richard Brandoff and Jimmy Biscuits are living in hiding on a busy roundabout. The other characters are also off the radar, and it looks bad for the extended CheapShow universe. To make matters worse, all those copy characters created by Brandoffski are making a push for dominance and it looks like they're going to succeed. Richard and Jimmy find out about the unbelievable success of “Thrift Pod” starring Saul and Levi and decide to check the podcast out. Turns out it’s pretty similar. Maybe TOO similar. Something is not right here. Why not make up your own mind and listen to both CheapShow AND Thrift Pod… Is this the end of everything we know and love?

Ep 346: Come Hungry!

E

It’s not been much of a Summer this year, so while the sun is shining and while there are plenty of cheap eats to sample, why not go on a picnic? Paul & Eli gather up all the PO Box snacks and head off to Wimbledon Common in South London for another outdoor misadventure. As ever, there are thrills and spills as the cheap chaps stumble, sometimes drunkenly, through the woods looking for little nooks and crannies to stuff their greedy faces. Over the next two hours, you’ll hear them question the existence of some awkward porn, get typically lost, discover an ancient well, get spooked by a lady in the woods, and force all manner of great and grim snacks down their gullets. There’s bickering, laughter and disgust… but will they find a bloody Womble? Find out!

Ep 345: The Miss World War

E

Some weeks on CheapShow, things get a little weirder than usual. This is one of those episodes. This week, Paul and Eli enter into the world of “Miss World” competitions. They’ve been given a board game, from the 1970s, that allows young girls a taste of a glamourous pageantry lifestyle. As they learn more about the world-famous beauty contest, the cheap chaps uncover some quite surprising facts. During gameplay, they’ll travel the world, putting on Vegas shows, auditioning for TV adverts and smuggling diamonds out of South Africa!! Who will win the crown? Whoever wins, we’ll all lose. Before all that, Juicy Jeremy has sent a parcel of pop, with three new, cheap soft drinks to evaluate! What will they make of Inca Cola, which is described as a “champagne cola”? Will the two limited edition Irn-Bru drinks pass muster? All will be revealed (maybe too much)!

Ep344: Firm Milky Lollipops

E

There are plenty of peculiar tunes to soak up this week on CheapShow. The segment may be called Silverman’s Platter, but on this edition of the podcast, Paul’s brought along a few interesting records to listen to. A song based on popular TV show “Minder” and styled after Chas N Dave brings Paul and Eli’s attention to the work of The Firm, a music group that churned out one of the 1980s biggest novelty pop hits. Apparently, they had a whole album, so the cheap chaps take a quick tour of their output. There is also a strange album to listen to that was designed to help raise fund for children’s charity NSPCC in 1984. It’s packed with some obvious and not so obvious celebrities from the period, but we focus on Dennis Waterman’s rock n roll Lollipop song and Felicity Kendall’s moog flavoured ditty about fairies! It’s also time to return to the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab International Cuisine Kitchen with a few instant noodles that are new to Eli’s palate. Mr Silverman takes on a Lucky Me beef bone marrow treat and whatever the hell a “Milky Me” is! To make things more interesting, Paul and Eli also have got their own deities in small boxes. This isn’t going to be a problem at all!

Ep 343: An Episode In A Box

E

Some week’s Paul and Eli can afford to take it easy. After the exertions of last week’s epic Golden Quest, it’s probably for the best that they let someone else do the hard work of building an episode. Thankfully, there is a PO Box delivery from listeners Karen and Adam that does all the heavy lifting. Inside (amongst other things) is a carefully curated mix of cheap eats and a pretty solid selection of Price of Shite items. What will they make of the Ketchup crisps, pretzel pieces and Blue Ball Bonbons is anyone’s guess, but the biggest question is who will reign victorious and get the most p’twings in the Price of Shite? The important thing to remember is that despite the open goal they’ve been given, Paul and Eli will find a way to ruin it for themselves. Typical!

Ep 341: The NeverEnding Cold Open

E

There are charity shop goodies galore on CheapShow this week when the Showcase rolls back into town. Paul and Eli have both found a little something special/unusual and have brought it along to CSHQ for discussion and evaluation. We “once again” get to hear about Eli’s upsetting obsession with Tomy toys and Paul “once again” dives into Saturday Morning TV for his own quirky offering. Grown men should not get this excited over pointless nostalgia that isn’t even theirs to remember! There’s a return to the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab Kitchen with an instant noodle that invokes fond memories and minor embarrassment for Eli too. Paul just wants him to shut up and get on with it. There is also a long-awaited tales from the Shop Floor with a particularly stinky celebrity encounter! Eli may have been given a pre-show dressing down, but can he really behave himself when Paul is acting like a proper prick… and will either of them ever get to nail the cold open this week? Why not listen to them try?

Ep 340: Death To CheapShow!

E

It’s a tough week at CheapShow HQ this week and both Paul and Eli are feeling creatively bankrupt. After 340 episodes, they’re worried the end is nigh, but until that day, they will battle on with gusto. To hell with their dignity! There is a Sauce Report and Price of Shite segment to struggle through, and the selection is a proper troubling collection of foul goop and truly odd charity shop curios. It’s going to test whatever is left of the cheap chaps and leave them ruined by the end. To make matters worse, there are dark, evil plans afoot. Somebody is concocting a wicked scheme and they can’t wait to put the final nail in the coffin of the world’s best economy comedy podcast. Is this the end? Or is the start of a new beginning? Or is it the same old audio nonsense? You decide!

Ep 339: Chicken Soup For The Hole

E

What’s wrong with putting a little happiness into the world? Nothing really, but when its folksy positivity is hiding a veneer of corporate soullessness, it’s hard to really get behind those good, life affirming vibes. Paul and Eli discover this the hard way when they attempt to play the “Chicken Soup For The Soul” board game. Will the game bring out the joy of sharing, friendship and laughter, or will it lead to miserable, bitter arguments? If you’ve heard the podcast before, you’ll probably have a fair idea on where this will go… Although you do get a damned fine story from Eli about his brush with cinema glamour, so it’s not a complete loss. As for Paul, he’s lined up a new bunch of tasty contestants for entry into the hallowed Snack Palace. Will any of the crisps chosen make it into the luxury of this abode, festooned with towels? Does it really matter? CheapShow will decide arbitrarily anyway, you just know it.

Ep 338: Who Am The Panty Man?

E

After a few weeks of song contests, real time episodes and walkabout adventures, Paul and Eli are back in the House of Sausage and Eggs for some wholesome and earthy cheap and cheerful segments. They’ve found some proper discount snacks this week, tasting a range of budget bites and fizzy delights. There’s an Irish Monster Munch knock-off to sample, something a little tasty for instant noodleheads, a traditional potato snack with a confounding gimmick and a soft drink from India that is more fascinating than the cheap chaps first think! Sadly, any joy taken from these nibbles will be sapped away in the Silverman’s Platter segment. It unleashes three truly soul crushing audio oddities that range from the saccharine to the outright offensive. Can you survive these vinyl record hellscapes? Paul and Eli are barely able to! Despite all of this, one question remains… Who Am The Panty Man? You’ll regret asking, that’s for sure. Actually no… One more question! Who the hell puts a serial killer’s painting for sale in a charity shop?

Ep 337: Cow's Parsley & Lamb's Lettuce

E

The sun is out and Paul and Eli have no intention of recording this week’s episode indoors. Rather than sweat it out in the House of Pickles, Paul recommends a wander around Stanmore Country Park and Eli willingly agrees. After all the drama of Urinevision 2023, a nice relaxing walk in the woods of North London seems like the perfect antidote the cheap chaps desperately need. Over the course of one long, hot Summer’s day, Paul and Eli will tackle cheesy cheap eats, they’ll attempt to value some Transformers themed Price of Shite items, Paul will discover that wearing shorts and traversing nettle bushes don’t mix and Eli will become obsessed with the word “pasturey”. Expect the usual arguments, confusing comedic scenarios and, with a bit of luck, a swing to have an accident on! Join us on a sunny day walk that will absolutely, positively be blessed with good fortune… Oh and stick around at the end of the episode for a new track from Noiselund: “Good Boy (Whistle in the Wind)” See pics/videos for this episode on our website: https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-337-cow-s-parsley-lamb-s-lettuce And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow If you want to get involved, email us at [email protected] And if you want to, follow us on Twitter @thecheapshowpod or @paulgannonshow & @elisnoid Like, Review, Share, Comment...

There is a lot going on at the moment. Paul and Eli (but mostly Paul) are organising Urinevision 2023 (live on YouTube Friday 2nd June at 8pm GMT!) but Paul hasn’t got the time to mess about with all that “editing business”, so they’re going to deliver one of their patented “real time” episode. No cuts, no retakes, just 60 minutes of raw CheapShow action that dives into cheap spicy noodles, some limited edition flavoured soft drinks and, unfortunately, some bloody Durian Cookies. Obviously, this means this episode can’t end well. Will their stomachs survive the episode? Find out as the Cheap Chaps slap on the lapel mics and go a-wanderin’ around Eli’s abode. OH! We also announce the 10 finalists for Urinevision 2023 too! Listen in and find out if your track was lucky/unlucky enough to make it to the live show!

Ep 334: The Walk Men (A Ball Of Chalk Part Two)

E

In Episode 310, all those months ago, Paul and Eli attempted to complete the whole of the Celandine Walk in 6 hours. They absolutely failed and had to abandon the walk because Eli had somewhere better to be, apparently! However, this failure got under their skin, and they decided that they both need closure. This week, the Cheap Chaps decide to finish off what they started and endeavour to complete that walk, taking them from Swakeleys Park to the Grand Union Canal in Cowley. That means there is a good five miles of walking ahead of them! Along the way, they decide to also cram in another modular “Price of Shite” and guess the prices of seven weird and wonderful charity shop finds. Who will win the most “p’twings” by the end of the journey? Why do they keep getting lost? What happens when they run out of places to walk to and who smokes too much and nearly whites out?

Has Eli finally met his match? Usually, he only has to fend off the annoyances of ONE Paul, but this week, he is up against THREE! Mr Gannon is joined by Paul Rose (Mr Biffo) and returning guest, Paul Putner! The much-loved comedian and actor returns to the CheapShow fray for a bumper Charity Shop Showcase and a Price of Shite with real, terrifying stakes. Over the course of 90 minutes, you’ll hear tales of showbiz woes, listen to what went on with “Knife and Wife”, discuss the secrets of The Bill and drown in a sea of weird “exercise and healthy living” 12-inch LPs. From Slim Goodbody to Sesame Street Live, via tiny toys, classic comedy sketches, Star Wars anecdotes and video game guides… It all leads to a thunderous and fiery climax! It’s going to get rowdy!

Ep 332: Spunk!

E

It’s a particularly volatile episode this week as Paul is in a proper mood and Eli is absolutely not in the mood for it. Hopefully the addition of a mountain of cheap sweet treats is enough to calm the situation down somewhat. In this episode, it’s a Sweet Shop special with a weird and wonderful assortment of candies to chow down on. From chalky chews to gummy disasters, from sweet delights to sour wonders, the Cheap Chaps try them all. Just be mentally ready to hear Paul swallow salty balls, eat money and gobble down spunk. It’s that kind of show. Thankfully, Eli gets to try an exciting new flavour of crisps unfamiliar to his palate. What will he make of a Kebab snack? You’ll have to find out! More importantly, when is he going to get tired of Paul’s bull****? It’s longer than you expect.

Ep 331: Brown Sauce

E

What’s all this then? Everything is back to front on this week’s episode. Instead of Eli, Paul is going to be the Super Taster in Off Brand/Brand Off. Can Paul pick out the HP Sauce amongst a few imitators? It’s a proper saucy romp as there are surprises abound in this battle of the brown sauces! Later in the show, Gannon’s Golden Games becomes Eli’s Excellent Entertainments as it is Mr Silverman who has discovered the board game! They both get to dabble in a bit of nostalgia as they try to wrap their heads around the rules for the Dad’s Army game, based on the very popular 1970s BBC sitcom. However, there is one draw back to having the hosts swap roles… Eli’s is going to get a taste of his own medicine, and Paul’s playing doctor!

Ep 330: The Pork Open

E

When it comes to cup noodles, we sometimes wonder if they are so preoccupied with whether of not they could make wild new flavours and didn’t stop to think if they should. On this week’s CheapShow, Paul and Eli are about to find out if Nissin’s Cup Noodles have gone too far. Can a “breakfast flavoured” noodle be anything other than disgusting muck? Will Nissin’s winning streak finally end on this very episode? You are going to have to listen to find out! Before they can dive in, the Cheap Chaps have a few choice vinyl platters to wade though first. There’s an odd collection of music curios to sample, with offerings from Smiths Crisps, The Bolton Bullfrog and a reggae track packed with farts! This is definitely a weirdo week… and Paul and Eli’s egos may be getting the better of them too!

Ep 329: Peas, Popcorn And Ptwings

E

It’s Eli’s view that Paul only wants to do another Price of Shite segment again this week because he’s desperate to catch up on P’twings. Not true. Paul picked another Price of Shite selection because his bedroom is full of PO Boxes, and he wants to make some ruddy space! No matter who you believe, at least Paul and Eli are pitted against each other this time, making for yet another hotly contested round of the age old CheapShow favourite! It’s packed with tat, crap, and a few things of genuine interest too. Less interesting are the snacks vying to get into the illustrious Snack Palace. Will Peatos slip in through the front door, or be cast out onto the street? And what about that hot sauce popcorn? How will it be judged? You can find out in this week’s jolly romp. PS.

Ep 328: This Is Not What A Podcast Should Do

E

It’s an emotional rollercoaster this week on CheapShow with bitter rants, over-excited expostulations, sober moments of clarity and confusing arguments! It begins with Eli desperately trying to cram another new character in the show and only gets more unhinged from there. Paul is not impressed with Eli’s increasingly poor creative choices and there is going to be tears before bedtime, or at least by the end of the episode. In Charity Shop Showcase, Eli has sourced two very unusual discoveries for Paul to peruse. Whilst one of them is conceptually very confusing, the second one tickles all of Paul’s fancies. To end the episode, it's a bumper sized Price of Shite, with six items to delight and bemuse. Will this be Eli’s finest hour? Knowing Paul’s luck, then yes, it could very well be!

Ep 327: Silversquirt

E

Paul reopens his candy store this week and invites Eli in to sample his latest sweet offerings. Surprisingly, they’ve never covered jellies before (or jams, if you prefer) and they thought they’d look for the cheapest to see if they pass muster. Will a Vimto or Slush Puppie jelly be any good, or will they be embarrassed by the Hartley’s brands? CheapShow intends to find out! It’s also been a while since we last had a Tales from the Shop Floor on the show and so the cheap chaps dip their toes into another tale of woe from the world of commerce. Before you think that this all seems pretty normal, bear in mind that in this episode, Eli tries to convince his new “mink” character isn’t a total embarrassment and Paul would rather come up with a load of mucky James Bond film baddies. Bloody idiots.

Ep 326: Snax Starz

E

The League of Snacks (and Crisps) is dead! Long Live “Snax Starz”, the exciting new replacement segment for 2023! It was meant to be a simpler premise, but as ever on CheapShow, things get complicated, and all of a sudden there are snack palaces, anthropomorphised crisps and a pool house. This week’s inductee is the much-requested Doritos Burger King Flame Grilled Whopper flavour. As you can imagine, it goes about as well as expected. Eli has some brand-new Tales from the Dance Floor stories to tell and to say Paul is unimpressed is a major understatement and rubs him up the wrong way. Finally, Eli is excited to head back to the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab Kitchen with a cheeky little noodle he’s been dying to sample. Of course Paul ruins it with a new character, but thankfully for Eli, said character ends up breaking Paul’s brain! Good. He deserves it!

Ep 325: Mrs Miller and The Stardust Cowboy

E

After the disastrous events of last week, things return to normal for this week’s episode. Whatever normal means. It’s a music heavy episode as we take a trip to Silverman’s Platter to investigate some novelty pop songs from bygone times. They investigate Hanna-Barbera inspired rap, endure some space themed disco, and then brave the contents of “The World’s Worst Record Show” album, that has some truly troubling tracks. We apologise in advance for what you will hear. There is also time for a quick Gannon’s Golden Games, based on an old TV format. However, Eli may have truly ruined the segment forever and Paul is close to throwing in the towel. It’s all a bit of a shambles this week. OH! And we launch Urinevision 2023 too! Which is nice.

Ep 324: Red Nob Day 2023

E

It’s been months in the planning, but it’s finally here! RED NOB DAY 2023 has arrived and it’s Paul and Eli’s one chance to claw back some respect for the podcast and it’s colourful cast of characters. Richard Brandoff is hoping this redeems his standing in the community and with the “knock off characters” lurking in the shadows, this special episode could make or break the whole podcast! Everyone has gone all out to make this a spectacular fundraiser and you’ll be encouraged to donate to these “definitely legit” causes during the show. Expect songs, exclusive sketches, variety acts, and special guest appearances from folk like Sooz Kempner, Stuart Ashen, Ash Frith, Mr Biffo, Ethan Lawrence and Tom Mayhew, as well as a lot of the CheapShow characters you love so much!

Ep 323: Liquid Edition

E

After the excitement of last week’s live episode, Paul and Eli are feeling a little burnt out. To combat these blues, they decide to dive into a particularly liquid edition of the show. There’s a large assortment of items to guzzle and sup with hot sauces to endure, chutney to sample and a wide and unsettling range of soda drinks to investigate. Everything from Barratt’s candy based soft drinks to pineapple flavoured habanero sauce passes their lips… and don’t even get us started on whatever that cumin drink was all about! Along the way, there is also time for a couple of appallingly improvised songs and a visit to Dr Silverman. It goes about as badly as you expect.

Ep 322: Live from The Leicester Comedy Festival 2023

E

For some strange reason, Paul and Eli have decided to take CheapShow out of London and perform a live show at The Leicester Comedy Festival. Recorded on Sat 25th Feb at The Firebug Bar in Leicester, the Cheap Chaps bring their usual rude, rowdy and unruly antics to the horror of a real, live audience! They are also joined by comedian and CheapShow alumni Tom Mayhew who will probably regret coming the moment he sets foot on stage. It’s (almost) an hour of mad rants, unusual Moog tunes, Price of Shite items and even some visual gags that don’t quite translate to an audio format! A typical noisy s***show! Luckily, we filmed it too, you don’t need to miss out on the action and pointless visual material!

Ep 321: Sprayonnaise

E

When Eli returned from America, he came bearing gifts. Sadly, those gifts were cheap snacks bought from gas stations in Florida. None of this seems like a particularly good idea. There’s mystery meat, misguided gummies and peculiar Peeps to sample as well as something Paul is pretty sure is spoiled. Elsewhere in the show, there are more musical musings to be had when Silverman’s Platter showcases a Thunderbirds themed rave track, a rap from Barnsley Bill and a vinyl record full of nothing but laugh tracks. Along the way, the Cheap Chaps get lost in way too much vulgar punnery, create the “Wacky Boys” sitcom, and barely keep their s*** together. Enjoy!

Ep 320: Brent Crosspocalypse Now

E

They swore they’d never go back to Brent Cross. After their first adventure (Ep 104 Malltwats), Paul and Eli agreed that there was never going to be a reason to return. What would be the point? However, when they discover that the Brent Cross Shopping Centre now has a “Charity Supermarket” within its walls, it looks like CheapShow has no choice but to go back. They should have stayed away. What begins as a merry jaunt into North London, VERY quickly gets derailed and becomes one long disaster. It’s an episode of confusion, confrontation, and frustration. This could be CheapShow’s worst walkabout episode. Or it’s best? Why not listen and find out?

Ep 319: Another Tale of Two Podcasts

E

Paul is ready to record another thrilling episode of CheapShow this week, but Eli forgot to tell him he doesn’t have the time. He’s off to Florida (again) to visit his family so he can’t record a full edition of the pod. Undefeated. Paul whips out his time machine macguffin and hops between the present (or the past, as of the recording) into the future (or the present… It really doesn’t matter) to see if Mr Biffo is interested, once again, in taking on a timey-wimey Price of Shite. This (last) week, the POS items come from a PO Box delivery and contain three cute charity shop curated curios. Both Mr Biffo and Eli will evaluate these items and guess the price, but which one will come out victorious? Only time will tell. Oh, and it also seems like there are more nefarious schemes afoot behind the scenes, but what can it all be leading to? Yes, it’s a pointlessly gimmicky episode, folks! Enjoy!

Ep 318: Top Notch Western Romance

E

Get your taste buds ready, because Paul and Eli are going to be noshing on a range of tongue-tingling yet sometimes stomach-churning cheap eats! There has been another delivery to CheapShow HQ and this one is packed with delicious, unusual jelly candies. In fact one is so unusual, more time is spent playing with it than eating it. It’s an odd mix of gummies that apparently want to be toys more than edible treats. Luckily, this must mean that there is a new Froth Shop opening! Huzzah…sorta! There is a return to a “Tales from the Shop Floor” when Paul recounts a recent strange encounter in a local charity shop. Luckily, the incident makes for a good story and a nice little Lego discovery. Finally, it’s another “Noodle Pot Blitz” to end the show. After some online badgering, the cheap chaps cave in and purchase a “Donor Kebab Pot Noodle”. Will it surprise them with its tasty goodness, or will it be hot, sloppy muck? I think we kinda already know the answer to that one… OH MOTHER!!!

Ep 317: Spud Dust

E

If there is one thing we love on CheapShow, it’s snacks… and crisps! This week, we have more crisps than we know what to do with, when a tub of “Spudos” is delivered to the PO Box! What is “Spudos”? Well, it’s a big plastic tub filled with plain crisps and comes with an assortment of flavours to sprinkle on. It’s basically an elaborate “Salt N’ Shake”! Will Paul and Eli embrace this strange service, or will they reject its advances? In the Silverman’s Platter, Eli unearths a McDonald’s branded vinyl album that encourages children to count and spell along with Ronald and his wacky friends. It’s… odd. One last thing. We’ve added a new cryptid to the show. Sorry about that.

YOU send your PO boxes to us, and WE (eventually) get around to opening them! This week, Paul and Eli dive into a delivery from Canada which is packed with items that will both tickle and torture their taste buds. From sumptuous snacks to flaming hot Mac n’ Cheese, there are cheap eats aplenty ahead. There maybe a bit too much to gorge on. Luckily, Paul has pulled out another parlour game called “You Be The Judge” that gives them the chance to flex their legal skills. As you can imagine, it doesn’t go all that well. This would usually be more than enough for an episode, but there’s a lot more to enjoy! Paul’s genitals are turning into a wild range of full blown classic Universal Monsters whilst Eli dedicates most of the episode to his “bad boy, maverick broadcaster” image by trying to make his new filthy innuendo stick! It’s another episode of good intentions but failed executions!

Ep 315: Charity Shop Showcase

E

Every now and then it’s good to change things up and break free from the old routine, and Paul is excited to do that this week, because he has a brand-new segment to show off. He’s called it the “Charity Shop Showcase” and allows them the chance to talk about charity shop items that may not fit into the show’s usual fun and games. Eli admits it’s a strong new segment, but the merriment won’t last long. There’s also some brand-new sodas to try out and this week it’s an international affair with drinks from Denmark, China and Russia. Which one will be top of the pops? Finally, it’s time to tackle a bugbear of Paul’s (one of MANY this episode) as CheapShow takes on the “Bread” board game. A game based on a 1980s BBC sitcom that you will soon discover Paul has some major problems with. Will the game kill Paul and Eli’s faith in humanity? Spoilers: Yes. Happy New Year!

Ep 314: The Mini Milk Manoeuvre

E

It’s the start of another year. As 2023 rolls in, Paul just isn’t in the mood to go back to making podcasts. As a result, Eli is going to have to do something a little different this week to get Paul in the right frame of mind. What Eli has planned is to have Paul, in a twist to the usual format, take the blind taste test challenge in a round of Off Brand/Brand Off… Or is it Brand Off/Off Brand? Ash Frith brought a few “knock off” gummies to the Xmas party, but now the cheap chaps have the chance to test them against the real thing. Will Paul be able to guess the Percy Pigs from the Leo Lions and the Twinnies from the Squashies? Elsewhere in the podcast, there are a few other Xmas party leftovers to sample; a bag of Lay’s “Pizza Hut” crisps and a tin of Mountain Dew “VooDew”. Yup, it’s definitely a “let’s eat the leftovers” kind of a show! Happy New Year!

Ep 313: The 4th Annual Office Christmas Party (Part Two)

E

Welcome back to the party! It’s Part Two of our 4th Annual Office Christmas Party and if you thought last week’s episode was a noisy hellscape, you haven’t heard anything yet! Paul, Eli, Ash, Mr Biffo and Sanja have eaten well and drank merrily but now it’s time to bring out the games and entertainment. Awkwardly, this involves everyone playing a deeply inappropriate game for the season and enduring a stripper that wasn’t what was ordered! To make things worse, the Ep 313Secret Santa Price of Shite falls apart before it’s even begun, and everyone is losing their patience with Paul! It looks like everyone is going to have some serious regrets in the morning! Share Christmas (or your chosen preferred holiday) with us if you dare! Merry Christmas – See you in 2023!

Ep 312: The 4th Annual Office Christmas Party (Part One)

E

It’s that time of year again! It’s the 4th Annual Office Christmas Party and Paul has made a BIG effort to make sure it’s the BEST office party to date. Paul wants it very “blokey” and so he has invited Ash Frith and Mr Biffo along to join him and Eli for a night of drinking, swearing, rude games and maybe even a sexy Santa stripper! Unfortunately, Mr Biffo has brought Sanja along and so things start going wrong very quickly. Eli is violently in need of a drink, Biffo can’t wait to ruin Paul’s fun, Ash can’t drink and begins to suffer greatly as a result and Sanja is trying to get TOO into the “macho” atmosphere. They consume cheap Xmas themed snacks, a very low budget Christmas feast, way, WAY too much booze and they’re locked in a remote log cabin on a very snowy day. It’s an office party so demented and calamitous that we had to split it over two episodes. You’ve been warned!

Ep 311: The Podcast Authority Bureau Assessment

E

As the year trundles to an end, there is a little bit of business Paul and Eli need to clear up before next week’s depressingly annual office Christmas party. Unfortunately for CheapShow, the newly established Podcast Authority Bureau are demanding answers and it’s up to the Cheap Chaps to take a mini deep dive into their own history to fill in a few gaps in the P.A.B’s database. It’s common knowledge that Paul and Eli are unorganized cretins, so how are they going to come up with the answers when they can’t remember what p’twing happened when and what was an off-brand item, and which one was on-brand? Luckily, they receive an email from someone who had a lot of time on their hands. With a little help, Paul and Eli may get all the answers they’ll ever needed. If they can keep their s*** together that is, which may be a problem as Paul is ill and Eli is exhausted and delirious.. With MASSIVE thanks to Samu Jantti for their amazing work collating all this information!

Ep 310: A Ball Of Chalk

E

As the year rolls to an end, Paul and Eli decide to cram in one last walkabout adventure that will eventually push them a little harder than they were expecting! After discovering something called “The Celandine Route” they decide to take on all twelve miles of it in four hours, despite the guide suggesting it will take six. Can they pull it off and also attempt a modular, al fresco Price of Shite that Paul has procured? As you can imagine, it’s not going to be as easy as the Cheap Chaps think. Along the walk, which follows the River Pinn through green spaces, conservation areas and wildlife retreats, Paul and Eli will argue, complain, rage, laugh and annoy each other every step of the way. Will the relentless mud, pitch black, misty surroundings and chilly autumnal weather be too much for them? You’re going to have to listen to find out… Sorry about that!

Ep 309: Noodle Pot Blitz

E

It’s been a little while, but Paul and Eli are back in the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab Kitchen to cram in as many noodle delights as possible. This week Eli has harvested six various types of instant cup noodles and they are quite the assortment of flavours, brands, and styles. Which of the range will come out on top? It probably won’t be the cup noodle that is out of date, that’s for sure! There is also a big, chunky “Price of Shite” which contains am exciting collection of charity shop items from the USA, which is exciting for Paul but even more exciting for Eli when he gets too excited over the “blind bad” offerings. It’s Paul Vs Eli in an epic PoS for the ages, as one will crash and burn and the other will smash it out of the park! Who will it be? You’re going to have to listen, aren’t you?
