249 - GAME OF STRIFE

September 24, 2021

Special Guest: Tom Mayhew

With episode 250 just one week away, Paul & Eli haven't got any major plans to celebrate this special occasion! However, it looks as though fate has a plan of its own! Until then, it's business as usual for the economy comedy podcast as the Cheap Chaps dive into a fizzy mound of cheap soft drinks and dig up a rather odd parody of The Game of Life. This week, CheapShow is happy to welcome comedian Tom Mayhew (BBC Radio 4's Tom Mayhew is Benefits Scum) onto the podcast to wade through the usual mucky delights. Can he survive the onslaught of Mambo Number 5 facts, wrestling fantasies, bull semen theories and Paul's new toilet routine? More importantly, Tom achieves something of a CheapShow first, even if Eli has major reservations about it!

248 - SLAPDASH SAFARI

September 17, 2021

The 1st generation CheapShow characters have been blown up, stored in a bubble universe, discovered in a mysterious box, buried in a paranormal forest and then escaped from a puzzle packed suitcase... and now they are roaming South London! What's going on? This is meant to be a podcast about celebrating the treasure amongst the trash, not a lore heavy quasi-sitcom? Paul & Eli need answers and decide to go on a safari to hunt these characters down and get some answers! Using an app Paul has made to track them, they wander along a river and head to Beckenham Place Park. However, one quick drinking session later and it all goes out the window and descends into loud arguments, an impromptu Gannon's Golden Games, a pathetic snack taste test and a long climb up a small hill. But where are the characters? Only one has the answers, but will Paul & Eli like what they hear? Do they ever?

247 - WHAT DREAMS MAY CUM

September 10, 2021

Special Guest: Ethan Lawrence

CheapShow is back at Soho Radio Studios to record another episode with a lovely new guest. Although he's been a fan of the pod for a while, we can't help but feel he isn't ready for the "real thing" and he soon finds himself caught in a torrent of rants, arguments and impromptu new characters. The poor guy!

Ethan Lawrence, from TV shows such as the award winning Afterlife on Netflix and C4's Bad Education finally joins the economy comedy podcast for games, chat and horrors. He's also brought with him his own curated Price of Shite! Paul & Eli are pitted against each other for high stakes p'twing action, but will they get ANY p'twings at all? Paul has a fun new Gannon's Golden Games that asks a simple question... What Came First? It's not as easy as you may think, and certainly not as easy as Eli thought it was going to be. And speaking of Eli... If he ever offers to tell you his dreams, decline politely and move on with the conversation. Ethan and Paul definitely regret asking him. But how bad can it be?

246 - THE SUITCASE

September 3, 2021

It came with a letter and a code breaking gadget and the secret sender challenged Paul and Eli to simply open the suitcase... It's now time to see what's inside! Recorded in real time with barely any editing, The Cheap Chaps are going to use all their mental strength and thrifty skills to unravel this mystery! Who sent the suitcase? Why? What is inside? Can Paul and Eli even get it open? Find out this week in a thrilling, shocking, emotional and deeply chaotic edition of the economy comedy podcast! Dare you learn the truth?
