About

Teresa is a musical comedian and a classy lady, at least she tries to be, despite everything life throws at her as a 40-something Northern Irish woman.

One of Northern Ireland’s top comedy acts and a skilled pianist and singer, she recently starred in her own BBC Sounds six-part series Tell Teresa and was previously seen on BBC’s The Blame Game, Soft Border Patrol and Late Licence. 

Named as Funny Women’s One to Watch in 2019, catch Teresa live to see her unique blend of songs, stand up, gin and “going out” leggings.

Tell Teresa

  • Listen Now . Comics Teresa Livingstone, Gearoid Farrelly and Sally-Anne Hayward solve listener problems with sage advice and specially composed songs. This week the gang do their best to navigate a problem involving other people’s kids and discuss when it’s appropriate to give out relationship advice. Meanwhile, a member of the audience has an issue with her workmates – but was it a good idea to ask it while they were all sitting beside her? Also – Teresa performs a song she claims to have written for Adele.

  • Listen Now This week they debate where one should keep one’s toothbrush, question how many shoes is too many (for a man), offer advice for dealing with a trumpeting neighbour before struggling with a question about the smell of a listener’s dead grandparent.

  • Listen Now. This week Teresa recalls the trauma of appearing on The Voice, Gearoid is triggered by a story about disguising the death of a hamster and Sally-Anne is alarmed by a listener’s rather OTT approach to dealing with a partner’s snoring. Also – listen out for Elton John as you’ve never heard him before.

  • Listen Now. This week Teresa lists the reasons she wouldn’t recommend certain diets, there’s an issue with an allegedly ‘ugly’ baby, some questionable tips for a best man and a special song for a particularly hateful hairdresser.

  • Listen Now. This week the gang question whether two rival neighbours might actually end up in a relationship and discuss whether flour is an appropriate replacement for grandad’s missing ashes. Meanwhile, there’s an argument over whether it’s okay to cry at work and Teresa composes a song for the supposedly ‘Nice Ladies’ of Belfast.

  • Listen Now. This week they encounter a particularly unusual problem involving someone spiking their sister’s milk while Teresa responds to an audience member’s question about avoiding nights out with a special song. There’s some carefully thought-out advice for dating in your forties and – inevitably – an entire section of the show dedicated to getting one’s revenge.

Teresa is taking her show “Delighted” to debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024.

Teresa’s one woman show Delighted will have its Edinburgh Fringe debut with Just the Tonic at The Mash House and will see her perform the show on 13 consecutive dates from 13- 25 August this summer. Teresa is hoping audiences will be enticed by one question: “Have you played by the rules, been delighted for others, and life still hasn’t worked out as you planned? If the answer’s yes, then this is your show.”
