Roll up (and that's an invitation), roll up for the mystery picnic

Roll up (to make a reservation), roll up for the mystery picnic

The magical mystery picnic is waiting to take you away

Waiting to take you away... take you away!

Eli and Paul are BACK TOGETHER... kinda. This week, the cheap chaps take to the roads, streets and back alleys of North London to look for the perfect place for a picnic. It's an episode packed with booze, rants, sightseeing, Japanese snacks, more booze, a frisbee, gross candy and a little more booze.

If you head down to the woods today, you'll be in for a BIG surprise!

CheapShow

This week on CheapShow, the cheap chaps are gifted a truly marvellous item from the PO Box. A piece of vinyl so awful that it's mere existence is utterly wonderful. In the process, Paul and Eli will discover a lot about life, the universe, the cosmos and bending kitchen utensils! Why not grab a door key and get ready to bend it along with us? Elsewhere in this episode, Eli's correctly predicts the horrific outcome to another Tales from the Shop Floor and Paul discovers a word that may neuter Eli's verbal excesses! If only Eli hadn't told him what that word was in the first place!

Paul is spent. After the 3 hour epic that was episode 181, Paul is out of material so reluctantly he hands over the reigns to Eli. What happens over the 60 minutes is all on Eli, Paul washes his hands of it completely. So... This week expect the stank of Eli's desires as he throws everything from noodles to sauces into the pot and adds a dash of The Muppets and a sprinkle of Pringles to the mix too. Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid!

181 - WINKIE: THE UNTOLD STORY

181 - Winkie: The Untold Story
CheapShow

It's the greatest story NEVER told... Until Now! To celebrate CheapShow's 5th Birthday, Eli and Paul present a very special (and very long) edition of the economy comedy podcast. It's the "as-complete-as-we-can-tell-it" tale of the failed attempt to market a piece of wearable technology, a mysterious nightclub owner with big ideas, the lives of 12 strangers taking part in a 6 month endurance competition, an obscure piece of French pop and the two idiotic podcast hosts who try to piece it all together. What was "Winkie"? Well, it's time to tell The Untold Story... Strap In!

With BIG thanks to Jeff Olan, Penny Floyd, Laurent De Gasperis for agreeing to chat with us for the show and to Ken Reid and Mark Crosby for their contributions to the episode.
