045 - LIVE & UNLEASHED AND TOO BLOODY EARLY

June 2, 2017

It's May so it must be another MCM Live Show on the Vidfest Stage... But never one this early!! 11.30am? As a result, this show is a little more, shall we say, "loose"? Either way, you can look forward to the usual rants and raves from Eli & Paul.

Ash Frith delivers more astounded commentary and we are (eventually) joined by comedian and actor Tom Bell, who basically walks into an early morning car crash of a podcast. He ends up being brilliant anyway!

In this episode, we tackle... The regrets of every Edinburgh Fringe Festival performer ever, our anger at the early time slot, the unknown aspects of E-Cigs, early morning boozers, creating your own cheap laugh track, Paul & Eli go heavy on the free phone apps, we get a rather random Price of Shite and Paul creates a convoluted new game... just for the sake of ONE cheap gag! This may be our cheapest show yet!

031 - RERECORD NOT FADE AWAY

If only they could read Japanese!

030 - MCM COMIC CON 3: THE ASHES

November 9, 2016

Special Guests: Stuart Ashen & Ash Frith

It's another LIVE edition of Cheapshow, on the Vidfest stage at October's MCM Comic Con 2016.

Be afraid! Eli and Paul are joined by part time co-host Ash Frith and YouTube botherer Stuart Ashens for a show that sees Eli mistakenly think it's cool to drop an Ace of Base reference and announces a life hack for Monopoly.

Meanwhile, Paul finds most people think a "Straddlebob" is a racist word, pits "plebs" against "celebs" for a very special Price of Shite and, once again, threatens his co-host with physical violence!

028 - THE GROTTY LIFE OF JOHN MEGGOT

October 13, 2016

We're Back!

After a brief hiatus, Paul & Eli are back for more cheap tips, cheap tat and cheap laughs.

The economy comedy podcast has returned and its bigger and better than ever... actually, its exactly the same.

In this particularly grotty episode, Eli advises, not only where to buy and find weird and wonderful vinyl, but also how to get rid of a fat bloated corpse.

We catch up with what the chaps have been up to during their time off (Paul: Lots, Eli: Nothing).

We get into some old school Price of Shite goodness and we cap the show off with a "Dollop-esque" investigation of Britain's most horrible, dirty old man: John Meggot/Elwes Ahh, Cheapshow. Trashy as ever!

We would like to once again thank Page Branson for our awesome new logo and Brian Wecht for the trippy & fantastic new theme music. Give them your love @bwecht @page_branson

024 - LOOK-IN MAGAZINES ROOL OK

June 28, 2016

Do you remember Look-In? The old 80s magazine for teens about TV, movies, music and comic strips? No? God we're old? Well, if you do, you are in for a treat as Paul & Eli find a stash of Look-Ins and decide to look into the history of the weekly magazine and fall head first into a nostalgic hellscape that includes Madness, 5 Star, Worzel Gummidge, Spagna, The Krankies and, god help us, Little & Large.

At some point... Paul MAY have a massive rant about shitcom "Bread" by Carla Lane. You have been warned!

We also have all the usual bits with more Tales from the Dancefloor and The Price of Shite... But we discover that Eli has a fanbase thanks to his appearances on the YouTube channel "Barshens" and the comments are... well.. troubling!

Its more cheap topics and cheap laughs in another CheapShow podcast!

021 - THE BERENSTAIN BEARS CONSPIRACY

May 10, 2016

Welcome to CheapShow!

Well... What should've been a short and sweet little feature on just how much your old 80s & 90s toys could be worth quickly turns into a messy tangential omni-shambles.

Eli and Paul end up talking less about the toys and more about which rock bands became crappy ballad merchants, cheesy crisps and whether we are all living in a alternate dimension simply because people can't figure out if some bears are called Berenstain or Berenstein! It's a nightmare! But don't worry, the CheapShow chaps also play a round of "The Price of Shite" & regale us all with another "Tales from the Dancefloor".

It's another episode of the random pop culture economy comedy podcast!

017 - BATMAN'S ANGER MANAGEMENT

March 13, 2016

Stand back Superman, Iceman, Spider-Man. Batman and Robin too... It's another CheapShow podcast with Paul Gannon & Eil Silverman!

This week, the chaps discover the story of a fan made Batcave made on a budget of £100... And then fall down a superhero rabbit hole and Eli makes a rude confession! Ash Frith talks video game conspiracy theories and in Cheap Eat, Eli and Paul stick a load more weird food in their gobs. Will the Jellyman defeat them? The Price of Shite contains egg shapers, comedian Top Trumps and some more added video game Batman where it all gets a little 8-Bit. Finally, Eli decides to role play a few anger management scenarios with Paul... It does NOT go well.

016 - 80s FLASHBACK

February 25, 2016

We're going back, unintentionally, to the 1980s!

In this episode of the economy comedy podcast, Paul Gannon and Eli Silverman tackle the charm of living on the cheap...

They finally get around to talking about their new year's celebrations... One's that involve feeling very old and diving out the way of rogue fireworks

The lads search Ebay for the weirdest online bargains - Everything from male chastity belts to vintage Playboy magazine... and discover how they use food during sexy times.

Ash Frith returns to carry on talking about who bequeathed what to whom.

In our regular game "The Price of Shite", its all gets very 80s when Eli pulls out his cassette decks and mix tapes

And finally, in the ultimate act of UK 80's nostalgia, Paul and Eli battle to the death... on a boardgame based on 80s TV hit "Bullseye".

Who will win? Do you really care? Find out in the latest "CheapShow"

015 - THE STAR WARS CYNICAL TIE IN SPECIAL

February 4, 2016

In our 15th episode, we belated jump on the Star Wars bandwagon by talking about the cheap B Movie rip offs, taste a selection of barely edible Star Wars candy, talk to Ash Frith about who Shakespeare bequeathed his 2nd best bed to, and play one of our weirder editions of the Price of Shite! Along the way we discover Eli auditioned for Stomp with Jar Jar Binks, hear Paul take on the character of a wiggly worm and try to offend their listeners in order to get a response!

August 28, 2015

With Guests Tom Parry, Nathaniel Metcalfe & Abigoliah Schamaun.

Nathaniel Metcalfe brings along a game that takes us from Planet of the Apes to the Beatles.

Abigoliah Schamaun plays our charity shop based game "The Price of Shite".

And Tom Parry endures the world's worst interview!

So listen, enjoy, download, subscribe to "CheapShow".

007 - JUSTIN PANKS' WINKING DOG'S EYE

July 7, 2015

In episode 7 on the good ship CheapShow, the boys go back to basics with a lean, mean, keen show.

Paul tries to get the interest in local businesses for sponsorship and can only find Carl's Burger and Jason's Doner-Van.

Eli explains once again about how special his education was and how wasted on him it was.

Justin Panks is made to choose between a milky nightmare and a Freudian one!

The Price of Shite takes in 3 items of unusual quality - a book, a decision maker and a dodgy copy of 1970s comedians.

And in Cheap Eats, the boys go back to the Japanese well to look at a selection of fishy food and green tea candy made by a seemingly universally hated confectionary company.

Once again, it seems what started as a simple show soon devolves into the usual collection of slurs and empty threats!

"That's CheapShow!"

005 - ROB DEB SUCKS SOUR CANDIES

June 22, 2015

Episode Five with Special Guest, Rob Deb.

In this month's money saving episode...

Paul sprays energy drink out of his nose.

Eli complains about idiot requests as a DJ.

Ash delivers a long list of moronic money saving tips.

Rob Deb vies for Old Comedian of the Year.

The Price of Shite game may contain peppers.

...And the chaps all decide to see who can suck the most sour candy of them all!

It's another joyous, anarchic podcast celebrating the very best of the very worst!

003 - BEC HILL GETS BEANBOOZLED

June 22, 2015

CheapShow Episode 3 is another instalment of the bargain basement podcast that celebrates the very best of the worst.

In this episode...

Eli calls Paul a down on his luck IT salesman and Paul calls Eli an inside out Danny DeVito.

Eli thinks he has the ultimate solution for all these leaked nude pictures.

Paul and Ash Frith give us dire warnings about our own phone misadventures.

The boys answer the age old question, "What is worse - Incessant uncontrollable orgasms, or over sized testicles?"

Very special guest Bec Hill gets put through the wringer thanks to a very peculiar set of inappropriate questions from Eli.

Eli picks probably one of the very worst singles ever for his vinyl selection and one that ends quickly... but not quickly enough.

The boys introduce a new segment called the Price of Shite - which is like a charity shop version of Antiques Roadshow... but that quickly goes off the rails and eventually leads to Ash and Bed creating - mid show - their own spin off show where the hosts are lovely and nice to each other! Can you imagine that?!

Eli has a brief Pop Up Pirate makeover.

Eli and Paul are charged with creating an advert for Camden Town, which doesn't go well and leads to a hilarious and yet shocking confession from Bec!

The highlight of the show is the "Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Challenge" where Paul, Eli and the rest of the packed Camden crowd take on a jelly bean eating competition where no one knows what nice or nasty flavour they are putting in their mouths... but quickly learn to regret it. However it's Eli who takes the brunt of the misery.

Finally, Eli throws his weight around on the topic of Fizzy Drinks. He may be wrong, but he doesn't really care!

Dare you listen? Should you listen? We'd like you to listen! So listen!

001 - BRIAN WECHT LOWERS HIS STANDARDS

June 12, 2015

The Cheap Show is HERE!

A show that mixes stand up, chat show and game show and celebrates the very best of the very worst... The UK's economy comedy podcast.

...Paul asks the mega mind of guest Brian Wecht (@bwecht) possibly the most stupid question ever.

Ash forces the team to stuff their mouths full of cream crackers and make a mess.

Brian discovers the joy of the Stylophone.

Paul performs a magic trick in this week's "Price of Shite" game.

Ash has his Paul Daniels anecdote sensibly censored!

Cheap Eats is an American Food "special".

Who will win? Timmy Mallet and Dusty Bin in a pop music face off?

Eli forces his pickled sausage down your throat...

...and Virgil Howe, from Little Barrie, eats what Paul won't.

...And see if you can listen to the moment we go from Stereo FM to MONO AM... (Sorry)
