CheapShow is a comedy podcast all about getting the very best out of the worst! Be it Poundlands, Charity Shops, Car Boot Sales or Bargain Bins, hosts Paul Gannon & Eli Silverman poke around in the corners of the high streets and internet to find treasure in the trash.
One week it could be a studio based show, the next, a live comedy event. It could even be a location report or a scripted adventure! A few things it is, however, is rude, crude, silly and drizzled in pop culture, nostalgia and plenty of verbal violence!
It has guests, videos, songs, reviews, games and dares. We apologise in advance!

Ep 382: A Right Royal Ready Salted Rank Off
Sometimes it can get TOO exciting on CheapShow at times! This week is no exception as Paul and Eli decide to see if all Ready Salted crisps are created equal. They’ve sourced six different types of “pre salted potato crisp snacks” to put through a rigorous flavour test, with Super Taster Eli J Silverman dolling out his expertise and opinions. Will the cheap Smiths crisps be able to compete with the mega brand Walkers, and how do they all stack up against the fancy kettle style crisps? It’s a potentially gripping segment, if you are the type of person to have strong beliefs on snacks. It’s not just salty treats on offer either! Paul has grabbed a load of super sour candies to excite and possibly appal the taste buds. Hopefully Paul doesn’t injure his mouth in the process. That would be terrible… About as terrible as his apparently psychic bum hole and dark homunculus magic spells. Oh CheapShow, never change!

Ep 381: Three Swiss Francs
Oh Muvva! This week’s episode of CheapShow is a brain melting, word gargling, logic defying audio adventure into the madness of Paul and Eli. Eli is excited to showcase another Noodle Pot Blitz with a wide range of favours and gimmicks. Some will delight and some will disgust, but they will ALL be judged by the world’s best noodle opinionators. Elsewhere in the podcast, CheapShow “scholar” Ivenne has sent the Cheap Chaps another Price of Shite package, packed with an assortment of weird and woeful items. Sadly, this leads to one of CheapShow biggest s*** shows. It also doesn’t help that Paul and Eli are running on fumes and you know what that means for the actual comedy content of this episode… It’s going to get weird.

Ep 380: Brand Aide
It’s common on CheapShow that we’ll have to look at the genesis of a very popular (or obscure) brand and often run straight to the arms of Wikipedia. Well, no more! In this week’s episode, Paul’s found a book called “How It All Began” that gives the potted history of some of the world’s most popular brands. There’s way too much to cover in one episode, so the cheap chaps pick a page each and find out more about the birth of plasticine and Y Fronts. Yes, Y Fronts! It’s a book that may come in handy in the future. Gannon’s Golden Games returns with a board game based on a reasonably recent ITV show that Paul & Eli have never heard of, nor care much for. However, it leads to one of the most exciting, twisty and thrilling games in the pod’s history. As if all that wasn’t enough, Graxton Industries have challenged CheapShow to create an event for sponsorship in the near future, but will their eventual plan be any good? Only time will tell. Also… Can Eli PLEASE stop grabbing his crotch, please?!

Ep 379: Expressionate Men
It’s another week of American snacks as Eli brings more sweet treats to the table. How will the Cosmos Oreos, Hostess Orange Cupcakes and Dr Pepper Peeps go down? More importantly, what exactly do Horse flavoured fried bread taste like? Paul and Eli are going to find out. There are some musical curios to listen to this week, and in a change from the norm, Paul is bringing the vinyl record goodness instead. There is a fascinating dive in the life of radio presenter and “soul singer” Steve Walsh and we also find out what a disco hit designed to entice Burnley Building Society customers sounds like… Especially when you consider who wrote the lyrics! Sadly, the addition of music to the show means another appearance from Trackbot and he still being defiled by anyone and everyone! It’s all very sticky business.

Ep 378: Gob Job
Every year Eli races off to Florida to spend time with his family, but he always makes sure he brings back something for the show. This week on CheapShow, Eli has a big bag of bounty filled to the brim with all kinds of snacks, treats and drinks. Maybe too many. It’s a food stuffed episode of CheapShow that has the cheap chaps tackle Buffalo Cheetos, Doritos Dinamita Sticks, Hot Nuts and (sadly for Paul) potted meat. Horrible potted meat. Hopefully the soft drink segment of the podcast will wash away any unpleasantness, as there are three fun sodas to sample. The only downside is that this part of the show allows Paul to make a load more enemies by proclaiming his hate for a particular type of pop! In amongst all the snacking, we get to catch up with TrackBot… Poor old TrackBot!

Ep 377: Barshens Rises
They said it would never happen, but somehow it has! For the first time in over 5 years, the Barshens team have gathered in London for a special reunion episode of CheapShow! Paul and Eli welcome Stuart Ashen, Barry Lewis, Chris Bullock, Ryan Livermore and Izzie Jones (kinda) into their podcast world. It’s a packed show. Paul kicks things off with a few Sharticles, ranging from sexed up whales and dead hamsters to late library books and smooth bollocks. Along the way, there’ll be plenty of nonsensical tangents too. Not only that, but Paul crafts a Gannon’s Golden Games Gauntlet edition of Bars Vs Hens. Barry versus Stuart in three games to test their agility, creativity and dexterity. It’s the ultimate game of skill with a shocking outcome! Ryan and Chris get to play along too, as they’ll be betting on who will win AND play The Price of Shite for some quality p’twings! If you need your Barshens fix, this is the episode you have (probably) all been waiting for. Barshens Rises!!

Customer Reviews
Cheeky Scousers etc
Sometimes when someone has a little problem with diminshed empathy, you have to point out that the behaviour they find hurtful is the same as the behaviour they display. So when I say this Paul, understand it's out of love. Everything you said about Carla Lane and her depiction of Liverpudlians, apply that to how the English depct the people of Ireland and then understand that your country have death squads operating here, our people have been subjected to some of the worst crimes against humanity including Internment, we have had the right to self-determination taken from us and we have been maligned by blatantly and provably false anti-Irish British propaganda.
I know growing up with Irish roots in England during the 1970's must have been difficult for you and I can appreciate that, but to parrot the very same sinister propaganda you were subjected to, especially when you try to portray yourself as some sort of moral and cultural arbiter - the god of all faux-Left wokeness - is just not on. You can't be selectively woke. You're either all in or you aren't. To be anything else just means you are a hypocrite and a fraud. If you want, check out the Irish queen of faux-Left Wokocity : Aisling Bea. She's tired of being maligned too and sick of the lies and outright hatefulness of the English. This nonsense has to stop. None of the anti-Irish British propaganda as any basis in objevtive reality. If Education is your metric for judging intelligence then Ireland has more graduates per head of population than England. It doesn't mean anything, education selects for obedience, not intelligence. If you were actual Left and not a branwashed fraud who thinks being Left is reading The Guardian, voting Labour is a fake Liberal Democracy and clapping like an idiot for the NHS, you would know this. I love your podcast, but you ruin it for me. Just stop.
