Description
Inside the Lines is a warm audio comedy set in Brighton’s most unusual shop — a colouring-in service run by Paul and Laura, two friends who really, really love colouring-in. You bring the artwork, and they do the colouring. For a small fee, of course. Each episode brings a special guest and a new complication, which invariably ends in chaos. From Turner Prize nominations to surprise hen-dos, things rarely go to plan. But somehow, Paul and Laura always make it back to their felt-tips, a glass of milk and a party ring biscuit. Funny, ridiculous, and kind of sweet — it’s colouring-in for your ears. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thankfully, they have a perfect guide in a loquacious gallery owner and devoted fan who is ready to usher them into the baffling world of contemporary art.
Complications ensue.

Holding on by a thread is the long suffering Maid of Honour, who’s determined to make the horror-bride’s dream day happen, whatever it takes. Everything is under control.
Complications ensue.

2025/09/25
Laura wants to take Inside the Lines to a festival and come home with a full order book. Paul wants to find his missing pencil case and get some proper food.

Complications ensue.
Created and performed by Laura Mugridge & Paul Macauley

Episode 2: Multistorey Dad Face
2025/09/18
Paul wants to become a real artist. Laura wants to get this hedgehoggery coloured in for the nice people in Littlehampton.
Secretly, Paul is already deep in a rooftop-based, nocturnal artistic mentorship that, to Laura, looks like something more worrying than inspirational.
Complications ensue.
Created and performed by Laura Mugridge & Paul Macauley
This episode is co-devised and performed with Andrew Allen as the oddly hands-off graffiti guru and Jeff Goldblum fan, Hector.
