What do you like to do in London the most?
I’ll definitely have experienced London experiences on the show and I’m exhausted on weekends, but I stayed in Shoreditch and every Sunday, there will be this huge floral market on the street next to my house. It feels so London. I’m almost just in a small part of Shoreditch, but we have to shoot in many cool places on the show. The animal farm they went in one of the plots was just under the streets of the area where I lived.
Do you have something you miss particularly in London?
Well, when I first got there, my friend took me to a very strange interactive theater. You’re walking through, but this is not an escape room, although I think I’ll say London Do There are lots of theaters and escape rooms. It is this very cool dungeon/indoor atmosphere that is frightening.
Jessica style, have you ever moved somewhere to restart your life?
I moved and started over a few times in my life, but it wasn’t about relationships, it was always a career. I moved to Chicago to riff, stood up, moved to New York to do stand, and then everything I did was brought to Los Angeles. When I moved there, I only knew one person in Chicago and then I made so many best friends that I still have today. It’s like going to comedy academy, moving there in his 20s.
Do you have your favorite 90s or Aughts rom-com?
Oh my god, I love rom-coms very much. I mean, I think I’ve been talking about it all the time Bridget Jones. Before filming the show, I felt like I was watching it, like Notting Hill. Everything with Julia Roberts. certainly, 10 things I hate about you. That’s a rom-com, right?
