Born and raised north of the river, the 28-year-old comedian, actor and writer moved east a few years ago — and it’s probably the furthest he’ll venture from home.

“I wish I could be one of these people who’s like, ‘I’m going to go live in Spain for a year.’ I’m not,” Reich admits at a hip coffee shop around the corner from his flat, sipping on an iced latte despite the dropping temperature. To cope, he’s sporting a red Vivienne Westwood scarf over a simple black jean jacket and white T-shirt.

He’d grown up a fan of movies and shows set in the Big Apple — “Frances Ha,” “Girls,” “30 Rock” — but it didn’t live up to his expectations. “Because I was kind of this pretentious teenager, I was like, ‘I gotta move to New York in my 20s, it’s going to be fucking incredible.’ And then I eventually went and I was like, ‘This sucks.’ They didn’t get me!” Luckily, Reich’s hometown has provided the perfect backdrop for “ It Gets Worse ,” the comedy series he wrote and stars in that also marks A24 ‘s debut U.K.-made show.

“Everyone I’ve ever met is here,” he says of London. “It’s perfect.” Judging from our one hour at the coffee shop, this isn’t that much of an exaggeration.

Reich is approached twice, once by a friend and once by a stranger, both gushing with praise about “It Gets Worse.” “I haven’t laughed out loud like that in ages!” a 20-something girl excitedly tells Reich. “Amazing work.” When we meet, the show has been out in the U.K (via Channel 4) for just six days, but Reich has already been surprised by the enthusiastic reception and rave reviews from The Guardian, The Times and more.

And on Friday, it will premiere across the pond on Paramount+. “So far it’s been such a nice, warm reaction for a show that is, I would say, at points really unbearable to watch,” Reich says with a laugh.

Inspired by his favorite American shows, including “Girls,” the comedy follows three best friends and roommates — Ethan (Reich), Abi (Emily Fairn) and Sam (Olive Gray) — as they navigate their 20s in London after moving out of their shared flat. It possesses that dry, awkward, self-deprecating British humor that is clearly shared by its author, along with a healthy dose of pessimism (as is implied by its title).

The result is a hilarious, all-too-real depiction of the existential angst that has come to plague Gen Z-ers across the globe. “The show is meant to be about three characters who see themselves as main characters in a TV show about themselves,” Reich explains.
