Teresa Mahoney, a talented artist and performer, was born in Lewisham, London, with strong Irish ancestral roots in County Kerry. She is a multifaceted individual with a career spanning various performances, including singing, acting, dancing, stand-up comedy, and burlesque.
From a young age, Teresa was encouraged to sing by her mother and grandfather, who even booked her to perform at local pubs and working men's clubs. Her success soon grew, with party cups and beer glasses overflowing with notes and coins.
In 2002, Teresa played Princess Jasmine in a musical, and after taking only two professional singing lessons in 2006 and 2007, she landed the role of Cinderella in another musical on the UK's South Coast.
Teresa's love for the Silver Screen Goddesses, such as Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Vivienne Leigh, and Elizabeth Taylor, inspired her to become an actress. She has had the opportunity to star alongside renowned actors like Meryl Streep, Dame Judy Dench, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Kaluuya, and Steve Coogan.
In 2010, Teresa performed stand-up improv with experienced comedians and comediennes after only six workshops. She then went on to play multiple characters in the British Comedy Award-winning Katy Brand's Big Ass Show and the BAFTA Award-winning British sketch comedy show starring Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse.
Teresa also entered a Best Burlesque Pin-Ups Calendar Competition in support of a Breast Cancer Campaign and won the title of "Miss June" 2010, making her a bona fide 'Burlesque Pin Up'.
Personal Quote: "Feel sexy in your own skin, then you can release your goddess within."

She also performed in front of the Queen, forty presidents, prime ministers, and members of royalty in the London 2012 Opening Ceremony with Danny Boyle as the Artistic Director.
Teresa has been best described as the female 'Michael Buble', injecting old-school Hollywood glamour into every performance. She has also performed at Westminster Cathedral in 2015 for the charity Silver Sunday.
