Trust Us with Your Life was a short-lived improvisational comedy series that redefines both the chat show and television improv formats. based on the British format (originally airing on BBC Two) called Fast and Loose.

Premise[]

The show finds each celebrity reminiscing about key episodes that have happened in their lives, then brilliant improvisers acting out those moments in which the celebrity has just described. These key moments in the life of a guest celebrity will be improvised as straight comedy or in game formats such as forward/rewind and sideways scenes. The tone of the show is friendly, funny and cheeky.

UK Version[]

As mentioned above, the short-lived British version of the show called Fast and Loose aired on BBC Two from 14 January (January 14) until 4 March (March 4) 2011, hosted by Dan Patterson. the improv actors for this version were: Hugh Dennis, David Armand and Justin Edwards.
