Ep 499: Door To Door
https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-499-door-to-door
For over a decade, Paul and Eli have tackled a number of long, weird and tiring walks for their “walkabout” episodes. This week, for our four hundred and ninety ninth edition of the economy comedy podcast, the Cheap Chaps take on their most epic, most arduous and definitely most punishing walk EVER… And all they are doing is walking from Eli’s flat in Harringay to Paul’s place in Harrow. How hard can it be? As it turns out, it’s a ruddy nightmare! What seemed like a cute idea at the start quickly becomes a walkabout like no other. Over the course of NINE hours and around 16 miles, they’ll take in high streets, quiet suburbs, motorways, country parks, winding trails, parkland walks, familiar routes, hot weather, old haunts and accidently dig up some memories from the past decade of CheapShow. It’s an emotional episode with plenty of big arguments, dark humour, dumb decisions and many embarrassing agonies to endure over THREE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES! You want an Odessey? Here is CheapShow’s!
Ep 498: Everything Must Go!

It’s eyes down for the forthcoming 500th episode! Paul is clearing out the CheapShow cupboards and aiming to craft a nice blank slate for the future. This week on the podcast, the Cheap Chaps are going to be opening up a couple of PO Boxes to see what’s inside, hoping to clean the decks before the live show. As a result, Paul & Eli are going to tear through, in real time (kinda) TWO Price of Shite challenges and a quick bevy of unusual sodas! How much CheapShow can they cram into ONE hour? Why not listen and find out? It’s a bukkake of toys, books, records, snacks, gadgets and stupid bloody trivia games. And yes, CheapShow is still getting bizarre and increasingly unhinged death threats… Where will it all end?
Ep 497: Snip Snip

With Special Guest: Ethan Lawrence
He’s back again, the cheeky chap who likes to take time out from his telly shows to join Cheapshow for more cheap thrills! Paul & Eli are joined by actor Ethan Lawrence (Horrible Histories) for a good, old fashioned edition on the economy comedy podcast. Thankfully, he’s also curated his own Price of Shite for the hosts to battle over. He’s got five charity shop items and ready to hand out p’twings! And oh boy howdy, has Ethan bought some crap for Paul & Eli to price up. Elsewhere in the podcast, it’s time to warm up your taste buds as the terrible trio taste a range of “crispy chicken skins” and a Pepsi drink that is PACKED with caffeine. However, what with Ethan being in charge for a good chunk of this episode, this allows for a bit more argy-bargy between the two main hosts. When Paul doesn’t like what he hears, he’s going to start editing this episode more severely! What a child!
Ep 496: The Vimto Dispute

You know, every week can’t be a high-octane, star studded affair! Outside of the amazing guests, random walkabouts and theme park adventures, sometimes you just need a solid “meat and potatoes” episode of CheapShow, and oh boy howdy, is this an episode of CheapShow alright! We’ve got a dash of Sauce Report (which mentions something we will follow up on in the future), there is a bit of a soft drink safari and we end with an impressive, fascinating Price of Shite… grabbed from the charity shop shelves of Hemel Hempstead. If you are up for a no thrills economy comedy podcast, then this week is JUST for you! In other news, Paul is still getting death threats, Juicy Jeremy is still living in his car and if any of this makes sense to you, then you have fallen under our spell! GOT YOU!
Ep 495: Last Podcast On The Thrift

With Special Guest: Marcus Parks
Every now and then, CheapShow likes to reach out and attempt to grab someone for the show they think would be a perfect fit… Whether they are or not. This week on the economy comedy podcast, Paul & Eli are joined by Marcus Parks from the Last Podcast On The Left and Last Podcast Network. It’s a huge honour to have someone on the show who’s been a massive inspiration. However, now that he’s here, what can poor Marcus expect? Well, Paul sent Marcus a BIG box full of stuff for him to investigate. There’re some uniquely British snacks for him to savour, a few spooky books to absorb and there’s also a very special Price of Shite to evaluate. On top of all that, Paul & Eli have found a few vinyl records to inflict on Marcus… and he may never be the same again!
Ep 494: Theme Parklife
https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-494-theme-parklife
Full disclosure, this episode isn’t exactly “cheap” but it was necessary. Paul is having a bit of a tough time at the moment, and wanted to do something where he could let off some steam and have some genuine fun… So, on his own dime, Paul has paid for him and Eli to have a day out at one of the UK’s best known theme parks, Thorpe Park in Surrey. It’s been a long time since either of the Cheap Chaps had visited Thorpe Park, so now is a good time to check out the big, scary rides that exist past the turnstiles! They’ve only got a little over 5 hours, so they’ll cram in as much as they can. Paul can’t get enough of the most intense, thrilling rides at the park, but Eli may be a little more reluctant to be thrown about. This week, allow us to “have a bit of fun” as Paul and Eli tackle long queues, junk food, an overwhelming number of “young people”, and experience some of the most intense rollercoasters the UK has to offer. Whether you like it or not, you’ll hear every scream, cheer and roar of the rides this week on a temporarily “not cheap” episode of CheapShow.
