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!

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!

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! With very special thanks to Marcus and the whole Last Podcast Network for making this happen!

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.

(Mono Version) Whenever the UK gets a sniff of hot weather, Paul wants to make sure CheapShow is getting the best out of it by grabbing the handheld recorder and convincing Eli to head out into the heat. This year, Gannon may have pushed his luck a bit too far. A few years ago, they headed out into the sun for a boozy bunk off episode, and Paul wanted to recreate that this week, but Eli (rightly) thinks it’s a bad idea. It’s made worse by Paul’s insistence to do a bit of geocaching when all Eli wants to do is find shade and eat fatty food and drink. To say that nothing goes smoothly, or to plan, is a massive understatement as the Cheap Chaps trapse around Ruislip Lido and the nearby woods looking for SOMETHING to go right. It’s another Summer Bumper Walkabout Episode and you are welcome to it!

We’re back on the spinning platters trip this week, with a few more vinyl discoveries to throw your ears towards. Eli is obsessed with his first choice, a nice bit of musical poetry that folds in an infamous tongue twister into the mix. However, it becomes more apparent that what Eli actually likes best about this track, is the cover art. Yes, it appears to be a buxom lady furiously plucking a pheasant, but Eli finds deeper, more lurid images within the frame. To combat this grisly fixation, Paul decides to go full Pam Ayres and continues to drop in and out of her throughout the whole episode. Which is unfortunate. Luckily, Paul is cock-a-hoop over his own discovery… A full album of songs from the 1980s “one hit wonders” Renee & Renato! We guarantee that these little ditties will put a dumb smile on your face. For the finale this week, Paul and Eli battle it out over who knows the most about London with a board game called “Streetwise”. Warning: There may be cheating!

(Special Guest Ash Frith) On this week’s VERY special episode of CheapShow, Paul and Eli tackle something they are not particularly comfortable talking about, nor do they have a lot of knowledge on this subject… Football! But why are they even tackling this topic, is it because of the 2026 World Cup taking place in the USA? Why, yes. It is. They’re cynically chasing a trend, but in CheapShow’s own particular way. Luckily, they have a helping hand to guide them through, as the original fair-weather co-host, Ash Frith, joins the show after a LONG absence. Over the next 90 minutes (including injury time), the thrifty threesome will explore the cult of football fandom, taste some World Cup inspired snacks, investigate the history of World Cup mascots and try to decipher the 1982 England Football Team World Cup Celebration album. Yes. A football team released a load of songs. How does it go? Well, you’ll find out in this week’s soccerific edition of the economy comedy podcast!

After last week’s mega walkabout, it’s time for Eli and Paul get back to what they do best… arguing over the price of random charity shop tat. Thanks to a PO Box delivery from Ireland, the Cheap Chaps have an episode’s worth of odd crap to price up for those delicious “p’twings”. Luckily, it’s not all bric-a-brac, the PO Box also has a few things to slurp on too. There are three Japanese Fanta flavours to investigate. The only real problem is that these drinks are out of date, so will their studies be impaired by potential soda rot? However, if you think Paul and Eli are in for a rough time with those fizzy drinks, you need to wait until they get to one particular item in the Price of Shite game… I mean, how bad can a candle smell? It’s just a candle. Right?

(Mono Version) It’s finally time for Part Two of our Cambridge Tat Hunt adventure! This week, Paul and Eli stumble onto a wealth of charity shops that, frankly, becomes a little overwhelming. They don’t have all the time in the world, so the cheap chaps try to cram in as many shops as possible before they close up for the day. Hopefully, they’ll find what they need with the £10 budget they’ve been given… But who will get the most/best/worst stuff when the final evaluation arrives? As you can imagine, it’s never this easy for Paul and Eli, so in amongst all the shopping, they manage to get lost looking for a building Eli can’t shut up about, find out their train has been cancelled and, once again, discover that they may have a problem finding a private place to weigh up the spoils of their hunt. It’s another ramble that will either delight or bemuse!
