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.

Complications ensue.

Complications ensue.
