Brace yourself! It’s time for the one episode of the year that always turns into an utter s***fest. It’s the 5th Annual Office Christmas Party and it’s going old school! After the tumultuous events of last year’s ambitious party, Paul has booked an actual abandoned office space to host his office shindig. He’s bought all the food, arranged all the booze and designed a very special Price of Shite. Eli has simply, begrudgingly, turned up. Over the next two and a half hours, you’re going to hear Eli form a union, Paul gets a little bit too drunk a little too fast, copious amounts of weird food consumed, a string of ugly cocktails spoiled by novelty mixers AND suffer through the toxic blasts of Eli’s guts. They’re going to try to “Eat, Drink and be Merry” but it’s more likely they’re going to “scoff, slurp and be angry”! Let’s just hope ALL those very special guests Paul invited turn up…

As 2023 winds down, Paul and Eli are coming apart at the seams. Can they mentally make it over the New Year finish line? Judging by this week’s episode, it’s going to be touch and go. It’s apparent from the start that Paul is in full chaotic evil mode and that going to make life difficult for Eli. Eli doesn’t make it easy for himself either, by being overly honest about something we’d all rather move on from talking about. Obviously, Paul is going to exploit that to extreme lengths. There is a PO Box sourced Price of Right to explore but Paul has slipped in a ringer. However, because he can’t win any points this episode, Paul is going to out of his way to make sure Eli doesn’t. Finally, Gannon’s Golden Games unearths a “party game” called F* That, which is exactly what they think after playing it. It’s a fiery episode of CheapShow to warm your cockles!

It looks like Paul and Eli are finally back in the House of Mash and Eggs after a month of LA adventures and they’re trying to get back into the groove. It’s not long before they are arguing, shouting and exaggerating again like they’d never been away. It seems that Hollywood had no effect on them at all. To ease themselves back into the old CheapShow game, they’re taking on some new and unusual sodas and diving back into Eli’s record box to sample some silly singles. Once again Coca Cola Creations rears its ugly head with a new coke allegedly created by A.I from the year 3000… or something like that? How will a computer crafted cola fare? Will it be any better than the Pokémon themed “cheese and salt water” fizzy drink? They’re going to find out the hard way. In Silverman’s Platters, it’s a trio of tracks to endure that bounces from early library music electronica, singing sheep and the ruddy Chegwin brothers! Who IS Jeff Chegwin anyway? Find out this week!

CheapShow wraps up its November month of very special episodes with a live show recorded as part of the Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival on November 4th at the Streatham Space Project, South London.

What happens when the vulgar, explosive nonsense of CheapShow teams up with the unnerving silliness of Digitiser? If you want to find out, listen to this episode of the economy comedy podcast! In 60 minutes, Paul, Eli, Mr Biffo and Sanja will take you on a random, hectic and damn near shambolic live show that just about gets across the finish line. Paul and Eli are still a little jetlagged from their Los Angeles adventure and bring some culinary leftovers from their trip. What American snacks will fail to pass muster and which will win over our stern judges? They also decide to give Mr Biffo a taste of The “Is It Mayo?” game and the outcome is one that causes Eli to leave the stage to go to the toilet. The grand finale of this week’s episode is the premiere performance of Beanus’ new play. It’s a production that tells you the REAL genesis of his story and isn’t deeply troubling AT ALL! Join us for the (not so) greatest show on Earth!

With thanks to Streatham Space Project and Cheerful Ear Podcast Festival

It's sadly time to say goodbye to America in the final episode of our Los Angeles Trilogy! However, if they are going to go out, they're going to go out in style! They're going to go BIG and then GO HOME when they somehow manage to wrangle the biggest guest of their weird existance! Joining Paul and Eli this week is comedian, actor, musician and slightly bemused human, Tim Heidecker (Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! On Cinema, Us, Office Hours)! How will he fare in a world of rockney, music mash ups, horror themed hip hop, cockney geezers, Disney education books, walkie talkies and Buddha boards? They're also joined by Brian Wecht (Ninja Sex Party) for a mix of vinyl treats and Price of Shite tricks! As a grand finale, Noiselund graces the economy comedy podcast with one more LA G-funk type track (kinda), taking us out in style!

Thanks to Tim Heidecker for taking the time to record with us!

Thanks to Brian Wecht for looking after us for a week and to Leighton Gray for being our technician for this recording!

It's the second of three episodes recorded in Los Angeles and this week they are joined by Brian Wecht and Leighton Gray, the hosts of the rather lovely "Leighton Night with Brian Wecht"! In a change to the usual format for both shows, Paul and Eli will be filling their episode with Leighton Night content and offering their own takes on that show's segments. They'll be dishing out "peaches and lemons", leaning harder on the lemons (annoying things) than on the peaches (lovely things) and telling everyone "What's Poppin?". True to Leighton Night's format, Paul will go all in on this particular gimmick! Eli just about remembers to turn up. How will Brian and Leighton fare when they get their own segments thrown right back in their faces? Find out this week!

BONUS: You'll be able to see how Part Two of this cross-over podcast event pans out by listening to "Ep 193 Leighton Night Does CheapShow" of Leighton Night with Brian Wecht on all participating podcast platforms!

Years in the planning, CheapShow is finally leaving the UK and heading across the Atlantic ocean to explore the city of angels itself, Los Angeles! In a very special episode, Paul and Eli explores the many nooks and crannies of LA in an adventure that takes them over an extremely large, and particularly varied city. Along the way, they'll take a walk along Santa Monica pier, explore 3rd Street Promenade for a thrift store, hunt for the Winkie billboard location, try to escape Hollywood and a few other odd surprises too. Paul thinks being in LA makes him a better person, Eli doesn't believe it and just wants to find a place to have a smoke! It's Part One of "The LA Trilogy" of CheapShow adventures!

There's just one week before we reveal our Los Angeles adventures to the podcast world, so before then, let's dive into some more good, old-fashion Cheapshow goodness! Firstly, an email to the podcast shines a whole new light on a Silverman's Platter track they discussed a few weeks ago. Paul and Eli learn a little more about "Dog and Bone" by Johnny and the Ansaphones, that both surprises and delights! The Cheap Chaps also cover a game for Gannon's Golden Games that is a spin on a VERY familiar classic. Wordle may have some competition. However, on the off chance that it's not very interesting, Paul has a pretty awful plan to try and sex the segment up. Finally, Eli is on Off Brand/Brand Off duties when McCoy's crisps goes up against a much cheaper interloper. Beware the Quirf!

Time is tight this week because Paul has no intention of spending hours editing the podcast when there is a trip to Los Angeles to plan! As a result, this is another one of those “real time” episode, one hour of solid, uncut, barely sensical, almost delirious, economy comedy action. What can they cram in to those precious 60 minutes? Well, firstly they try to guzzle down some unusual sodas. There’s a delicious new Mountain Dew to savour and Fanta have brought out another bloody “mystery” flavour? Can the cheap chaps figure it out? Of course not! Secondly, there’s a Price of Shite to tackle too! It’s rammed with awful items for Eli to guess the costs of. Finally, why is Paul acting like Eli and what is Cocklenuts? It’s a speed run version of CheapShow! So hold on tight, as once we start, we don’t stop until the hour is up!

Just when you weren’t expecting it… BAM… More Winkie news! It’s been a few years since our epic documentary “Ep 181: Winkie: The Untold Story” and we were recently informed of not one, but TWO developments to what we already know! Thanks to the incredible work of Ivenne, and the translations skills of Markus Lindstrom, we have something a little special this week. There’s a recently discovered video on YouTube (see the video on the accompanying webpage for this episode) that contains footage from a French TV series, recorded in 1985, that shows the infamous Winkie billboard competition in action. However, with it being in French, Paul has had a clever idea… and it’s going to involve calling on some of the CheapShow family to help out! And yet there is even more new Winkie news than that! To top things off, Eli has more platters to share, one of which may be the rarest record they’ve ever discovered. But just because it’s rare, doesn’t mean it’s going to be any good. It’s a surprisingly packed episode, it even comes with a Singing Postman!

With MASSIVE thanks to Ivenne Mecking, Markus Lindstrom, Stuart Ashen, John Rain, Sooz Kempner, Paul Putner, Brian Wecht, Octavious King and Ethan Lawrence
