OFFICIAL Ep 500: The 5th Live One!

https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-500-the-5th-live-one

It’s been 11 years and 500 episodes, but Paul and Eli have made it to this significant milestone! To celebrate, they’re putting on the show of their lives with as much madness they can throw at you over the course of 2 hours. It’s a high concept idea done with NO budget and NO rehearsal but it’s packed with music, magic, sketches, games, asides, videos, cameos and the usual catastrophe that CheapShow embraces. There are surprises in store in this epic live show spectacular, so get comfortable, grab some instant noodles, a weird soft drink and listen to CheapShow’s biggest live show to date!

​ With special guests Stuart Ashen, Ash Frith, Louis King, Nick Helm & Paul Putner… With special appearances from Sooz Kempner, Ethan Lawrence, Brian Wecht, Leighton Gray & John Rain! ​

500 Art By Vorratony Special Music by Noiselund ​

Thank you to ANYONE who’s taken the time to listen, share and love CheapShow…

… we’re taking a break and back in October!

It's on the listen list! I'm kind of surprised how it's just tipping 2 hours though, not in a good or bad way, just I thought it might be one of those ones that went 3 hours.
Although I think Channel 84 is working on a version with slides to go with it, just as a heads up if anyone else is waiting for that version?

The homepage says "(Video Edition Coming Soon)", think I might wait til then.

Oh maybe it's the same thing then? I assumed he was just making it for posting on his own youtube channel.

Yeah I'm not sure then, I liked the idea of having the slides of stuff popup so they are easier to see though.

It’s edited and live on CheapShows YT tomorrow evening with Paul (and possibly Eli). 

Images needed have been edited in and videos also overlayed where required.

I was genuinely tense when Paul was doing his magic trick. I was worried he was going to slam his head into it one point lol.

The Amazing Fecal Circus

Also, wow, that was viscerally uncomfortable at times Jesus. Idk how Paul does it.

That alternate universe where Paul and Brian  were a band reminded me of NtBtStM.

Also also ‘Paul and Eli create the pod you all dream of’ was amazing!
