CheapShow

CheapShow Podwww.thecheapshow.co.uk
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! www.thecheapshow.co.uk

Ep 34: Mr Biscuits

Who is Mr Biscuits and how could he help you save money? Frankly, no one really knows, especially Paul & Eli in yet another ruddy fun CheapShow. In episode 34 CheapShow tackles bad accents. Again. There is another frustratingly familiar "Tales from the Dancefloor" story, Eli excitedly takes on an all new type of Noodle flavour, Gannon's Google Assistant confuses Paul Daniels for Vladimir Putin, the boys eats rancid chilli chocolate and, AT LAST, Eli brings in a selection of weird and wonderf...

Ep 32: Silent Night Soil

Silent Night Soil. Holy Night Soil. All is calm. All is shite. There is nothing special about this "so called" Christmas Special. No magical stories. No high production values. No musical interludes. It's just Paul, Eli and some utter pointless crap. Some of it happens to be Christmas related, but don't get too excited. It's basically a regular episode. We also hear about some of history's biggest failures. The CheapShow boys only missed being on the list of failures due to the fact that it's no...

It's another Scrapbook of Crap... And this time it's personal! After Eli took the internet by storm with his very strong opinions about Instant Noodles, it seems only fair he uses the podcast as a platform to answer his fans from the Barshens channel YouTube comments.

Ep 21: The Berenstain Bears Conspiracy

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...
