    Ep 408: Live At The Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival 2024
    Nov 1 2024
    CheapShow is LIVE! Or rather, WAS live on Oct 19th when Paul & Eli performed to a packed house at the Cheerful Earful Festival! Joining them on stage for 90 minutes of carefully organised havoc and horror is Sooz Kempner, Ethan Lawrence and Ash Frith! Over the next hour and a half, a frothing merry audience will be entertained with a low budget Daft Punk intro, a hellish scoring system argument, the resurrection of “Keith”, an acting masterclass with Vincent Price, a mega mix Price of Shite, Gannon’s fastest song to date, a tribute to classic TV game show “3.2.1” and the show’s biggest anti-climax ever! It’s an overstuffed, overexcited live show with CheapShow doing what CheapShow does best… Comedy chaos and high energy hi-jinks! With thanks to our guests, Giles from Cheerful Earful and the staff at The Bedford, in Balham!

    Ep 407: Talk To Us
    Oct 25 2024
    It’s that spooky time of the year again and Paul and Eli are celebrating Halloween a little earlier than usual! On this week’s episode, it’s going to get ghoulish with a range of spectre-adjacent gummies and fizzy pop to enjoy. With the release of the Beetlejuice sequel, a few brands have chipped in with their own special edition treats. Maynards have something called “Spooky Gums” for the Cheap Chaps to wrap their taste buds around and Fanta have a green Apple flavoured soda to sup! Do either celebrate the “ghost with the most” or will they both horrifically underwhelm? Oh! After weeks of fierce internet debate, CheapShow has finally gotten its hands on Heinz’s Monster Munch Pickled Onion flavoured Mayo. The results will not surprise anyone! Elsewhere in this edition of the pod, Paul is trying to get Halloween vibes going by showing Eli his latest “foggy” gadget. As for Eli, he has something of his own to share this All Hallow’s Eve. The return of an old CheapShow treasure reveals something haunting, terrifying and even possibly dangerous! What will Eli’s Monkey Claw conjure and will it have tragic consequences for the economy comedy podcast? Listen… If You Dare!

    Ep 406: All Water Under The Bridge (Mono Edition)
    Oct 18 2024
    MONO EDITION: There’s a pointless, nagging question in Paul & Eli’s minds… How many bridges span the whole length of the Regent’s Canal in London? A popular YouTuber suggested around about 40, but the Cheap Chaps aren’t convinced and decide to find out for themselves. So begins a near 9 mile journey right through the middle of London that will delight, confuse, upset and annoy them both. Beginning in the East at The Limehouse Basin, they’re going to travel West all the way to the Paddington end. How long will it take and how many bridges will there actually be? You’ll find out in this 2 hour epic episode. Along the way they’ll vent about joggers, marvel at the graffiti, reveal some history, tackle some Eli supplied snacks, share some personal stories and ONE of them will have a very unpleasant bathroom experience. Come along for another “ball of chalk”, have a “knees up” and try to have a proper “bubble” in this “capital” CheapShow adventure!

  • Ep 405: Return To The House of Pickles

    Ep 405: Return To The House of Pickles
    Oct 11 2024
    Due to circumstances beyond Paul & Eli’s control, they’re recording this week’s episode from inside the original House of Pickles… And Eli couldn’t be happier! To “celebrate” the Cheap Chaps are going back to basics with some good old fashioned content. To get things going, Eli has a red hot Sauce Report in more ways than one. He’s sourced two sauces from a nearby convenience store, which was handy, as its conveniently down the road from his place! Paul delivers another Page Turner segment with a book he’s been trying to get into the show for ages. As it transpires, this book got a bit more of a reputation following its appearance in a recent Ghostbusters movie! This publication promises a world of “Strange But True” stories guaranteed to confuse the podcast hosts. In other news, CheapShow invents a new pet and, sadly, it’s exactly what you think “Nougat The Saucy Horse” is!

    Ep 404: Superlative Decay
    Oct 4 2024
    It’s an old school episode of CheapShow this week as Eli has collated the “Silverman’s Platters” and Paul has crafted a “Price of Shite” challenge. 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 glass and a weird radio with a great big pair of ruby red lips on it! What do they do? You’ll be sorry you asked! Making things extra annoying for Eli is Paul’s need to brute force a new character into existence. Will this miserable sod become a new hit, or will Eli lose his temper quickly? When it’s time for Eli to show off his latest vinyl record discoveries, he’s grabbed two very odd ducks. The first is an utterly shocking charity single designed to raise money for the UK’s Children In Need charity. What makes it noteworthy is the fact it is sung by two actors from the British soap opera Eastenders! The second offering from the record box is an odd couple of tracks from the beloved Joe Tex. They are certainly… something! But will they be considered a “platter” or a “splatter”? You can find out by listening to Ep 404 of CheapShow!

  • Ep 403 An Invisible Touch

    Ep 403 An Invisible Touch
    Sep 27 2024
    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. All we are saying is, it may get personal this week! Luckily, there is some actual content, even if it’s not exactly the content they planned. Before they even get started, they take a tangent into the deeply scatological when they discover “rectal euphoria” is a thing and Eli suggests a new segment that ISN’T going to happen. CheapShow is back on the snacks, when they are introduced to Tayto “Might Munch” and given a taste test challenge. Meanwhile, a limited edition bag of Walkers crisps tries to gain entrance to the Snack Palace, but will it get in? Finally, Paul has a Charity Shop Showcase he believes will not only win Eli over, but also change the way we understand reality! As you can probably guess, it doesn’t go well for him.

    Ep 402: Tea 2: Judgement Tea
    Sep 20 2024
    When the call goes out, we answer! A recent which.com article looked into whether a posh cup of tea is any better than a cheap builder’s brew. When it comes to Tea, Paul and Eli are self-proclaimed experts and they decide to do their own mini taste test. Paul has bought cheap Tesco Own Brand, Yorkshire and Twinings tea to see if Eli can notice any considerable difference! Not only that, what does Eli think is the best? If you really want the answers to these enquiries, then give this podcast a listen! Before all that “science” happens, the cheap chaps have a gift box from New Zealand that contains some hot sauces AND a collection of candy that will delight and appal in equal measure! And finally, in a shocking turn of events, Eli has remembered Paul’s birthday! However, it will soon become apparent that he really shouldn’t have bothered!
