We're an independent
#podcast
making (somehow) weekly comedy content, looking for the treasure amongst the trash.
If you think you can support us, please consider our
@Patreon
thank you
Apparently we are 8 YEARS OLD today!
How the fuck did that that happen?
How have we managed to get this far?
What do we do next?
Best not think about it!
#HappyBirthday
to us! 🎂

@elisnoid
Celebrate us by spreading the word!
Apparently this was 12 years ago today. When
@elisnoid
and
@PaulGannonShow
did their first
#EdinburghFringe
show "Rogues Handbook: Bumper Book of Sketches"
It was an ok show.
Bigger things were to come!
What the actual fuck??!!
Wowsers!
Thank you, to all who voted and keep our ridiculous podcast going after 8+ years!
All we've ever set out to do, was do something different, funny and "evergreen" and we'll carry on, but this win shows us that our audience is like few others xx
CheapShow is a distraction. We're fine with that. Most who listen can figure out our political leanings. So for about an hour or so every week, let us just be dumb and funny and try and cheer you up for a bit.
It's all we can do.
Question.
Seriously.
Would people be willing to spend £20 on a ticket to see CheapShow Live?
We, like Digitiser, could do a show at the Harrow Arts Centre and we'd need at least 70 tickets sold....
I'm concerned we couldn't manage it, but want to put on a big show in 2022!
I'm still overwhelmed about last night.
To see that many people at our live show.
To be surrounded by such great collaborators.
It was truly mind-blowing.
Please send ANY pics/vids to our email address, as we'd love to show them on our website.

episode idea.
A toilet that tells you how many days until you die!
Man does a plop
Toilet says "You have 9 days to live"
Next day man plops again
Toilet says "You have 8 days to live"
So man decides not to poo for 8 days..
And dies from NOT POOING!
PLEASE COMMISSION.
We'd love to do a TV pilot.
Knowing full well no TV channel would have us.
But we'd like to at least make a 30 min video show of CheapShow.
Maybe this year
Well... This was a loooooong recording day! Definitely going to be our longest Walk about in a while... Lots of things we didn't expect happened and lots of things we did plan didn't work out... But we're done recording. And we're fucking knackered.
Some kids on the bus I am currently on, no fucking joke, are listening to CheapShow.
Loud.
I'm genuinely embarrassed.
I don't think these kids know I'm on the bus.
Probably for the best.
Kids. Please don't listen to CheapShow loud on the top deck of a bus!!!
This is why these shows suck. They're built on asking a question no one but the most selfish & hateful of people will want to engage in. It's proposing the issue is the fault of younger folk yet its THEIR generation who've made it all so miserable for anyone 40 or younger to live
Should we stop calling young people 'Snowflakes'?
Nearly twice as many young adults are not in work because of illness, compared to ten years ago.
Are they the 'sick-note' generation?

Sad how much of the "recommended" videos in a search for trans issues tends to lead to anti-trans content by people who, frankly, make your platform a worse space.
Without
@Barshens
we wouldn't have the audience we have! We were very fortunate to be involved with B1.0 and it's a shame to see it close up shop.
So long and thanks for all the shart!
Well, what a lovely show! One hour (just) of Mayo, snacks, disturbing origin stories and slapdash podcast antics! Thanks to ALL who came and
@CheerfulPodFest
for having us!
Also got to show off our
@Comedypodcastde
award LIVE on stage!
Eat THAT other podcasts!
Holy Shit... This picture surfaced on FB today, 15 years ago
@elisnoid
and
@PaulGannonShow
first sketch show! This was from a batch of pics from pre Edinburgh promotional purposes.
Our show was utterly ignored.
IMPORTANT EPISODE 150 NOTICE:
The episode WILL be out on Oct 25th but maybe later in the day, rather than the morning.
I'm just rammed with work, job interviews, still editing 150, updating the website, Patreon pod edits and prep for my book.
Please be patient. I'm going mad!!
Apparently today is
@SoozUK
birthday.
We quietly remind everyone that Sooz is a danger to this nation and an enemy to all.
Which is why we love her!
Merry Birthmas!!!!
Bloody hellfire!!! We actually won something!!!
Even if we don't go further in this World Cup, the important thing is we at least won something!
Thank you to everyone who mucked in and helped prop us up a little higher!!
We jumped up into the top 130 comedy podcasts in the UK.
Was this because we talked about retro kids shows?
Please don't make this a thing we need to do to stay relevant.
Please
Fuck off.
It's always the poor, the unemployed, the folk trying to juggle 2 or 3 jobs who have to "put up" with "difficult decisions" whilst these cunts party under lockdown, hand out contracts & money for inert projects and love a life unaffected by austerity.
True evil is banal
'We need to make difficult decisions to reform the welfare state' says Chancellor Jeremy Hunt ahead of the Autumn statement but says 'you will have to wait until Wednesday to hear the details.'

ALSO "BIG NEWS" ANNOUCEMENT...
CheapShow is COMING TO AMERICA!
We'll be heading out in October to record some special episodes and there is MORE news to come!
This is Very Exciting for Us!

@elisnoid
Just a big shout out to that guy on facebook who keeps posting under new episodes how much he hates the show these days, how he doesn't like us doing collabs and that he doesn't listen any more.
Do you want a fucking medal or something?
OK
IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
I've had a crap week, hit (seemingly all at once) by various health issues. It means that CheapShow will either be late on Friday or come out sometime over the weekend. Apologies.
It's really been a miserable week and it's beaten me down.
Please stand by.
Having watched the first cut of the 300 Live Show, I'm surprised how much "Bottom Live" energy there is to the show. It's definitely the most elaborate show we've ever done, but also, the simplest.
Can't wait to share it on the 23rd Sept.
Our pod was never meant to have characters, storylines, lore, time lines, alt time lines, catchphrases...
It was just meant to be about charity shops...
Honest.
... because maybe we want the experience of the story, gameplay mechanics and to have a chance to enjoy it... Rather than having to compete with people who think cracking Dark Souls on Mega Hard Bastard setting is the key to life...?
I see absolutely zero point in forking out all that money on a new modern game, then playing it on "easy mode".
It's the equivalent of going to a brothel, then deciding to have a wank instead.
So... If all goes well... We'll be doing a HUGE
#Winkie
special on June 5th.
We've got interviews AND figure out WHY the song was released in French, in France, a year after the toy failed in the US!!
Considering how many of the UK's political, business and entertainment superstars are feckless, vamping idiots, it's a real shock that we're not the biggest podcast in the country!
We don't get reviewed by newspapers, we dont get recommendations from most online magazines, we'll never win any awards. It's mostly down to what broader outlets want to define as a podcast. We make out pod cuz we love it, we put tonnes more effort in than most pods.
We carry on
Big Day for us in LA
Hopefully your guest will turn up 🤣 to record an episode with us!!
Kinda terrifying!
Anyway... More pics...

Genuinely hope if England loses, France buys a billboard in London to "return the favor"
I swear to God The Sun is staffed by the mentally deficient and morally ignorant.
We may get demolished this weekend, but the fact we got here at all is incredible. We're an independent podcast supported by Patreon and our social media faithful who've both done a lot to get us to this final. That in itself is an achievement.
It's been heartwarming to see! X
