Meg Stalter on Filming ‘Too Much,’ Collaborating with Lena Dunham, and Getting Her Flowers in London


What were your favorite things to do in London?

I definitely experienced being in London primarily through the show, and on the weekends I was so exhausted, but I stayed in Shoreditch and every Sunday, the street next to the house I was in would have this huge flower market. It just felt so London. I was pretty much just in that small area of Shoreditch, but we got to film in so many cool places on the show; the animal farm they go to in one of the episodes was just down the street from the area I was living in.

Is there anything you particularly miss about London?

Well, when I was first there, my friend took me to a very strange interactive theater. You’re walking through but it’s not an escape room, although I guess I’d say London does have a lot of theater and escape rooms. It was this very cool sort of dungeon/chamber vibe that was kind of scary.

Have you ever moved somewhere to restart your life, Jessica-style?

I’ve moved and restarted a couple times in my life, but it wasn’t about relationships, it was always career stuff. I moved to Chicago to do improv and stand-up, I moved to New York to do stand-up, and then everything I’ve done took me to LA. I only knew one person in Chicago when I moved there, and then I made so many best friends that I still have today. It’s kind of like going to comedy college, to move there in your 20s.

Do you have a favorite ’90s or aughts rom-com?

Oh God, I love rom-coms so much. I mean, I feel like I keep talking about Bridget Jones. Before we filmed the show, I feel like I was watching, like, Notting Hill. Anything with Julia Roberts. And, of course, 10 Things I Hate About You. That’s a rom-com, right?
