Leo Reich can’t seem to shake London.

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.
