A true double-threat, actor-comedian Ralph Harris has made it big as both an actor and a stand-up. Harris' acting career was the first to take off, with a starring role on '90s TGIF sitcom On Our Own and guest spots on Seinfeld, Living Single and more. He's gone on to feature film work, including appearances in Dreamgirls and Evan Almighty. Always a stand-up at heart, Harris has had specials on Comedy Central and HBO, appeared all over late-night TV, and competed as a finalist on Last Comic Standing. His act pulls from his real life and large family, and often finds Harris slipping in and out of hilarious characters. Learn More

I enjoyed everything about this show...but mostly Mr. Foley and his bit about the N word and the R word and all the stuff about God and Sarah Palin...oh...I guess the whole thing! I laughed all night.Written on Oct 25 2011

Dave Foley was great. Funny and insightful. A packed house and we were way in the back. Not always easy to hear from there, but The Improv is still a nice place to go. Parking can be a hassle with two popular restaurants next door.Written on Oct 25 2011

This comedian (if thats what you call him) has a very bad since of humor. Every comedian uses racial jokes to a point to bring humor and that is taken for what it is. But This man is a bigget and he made it very clear. He made people leave the theatre and got little applause towards the end. Mouths were dropped and my wife was very disgusted and refuses to talk about the show to our friends. He was terrible and belongs on the streets like a crack head begging for change because he will not earn another dollar from my pocket!!!!!! PLEASE READ THIS WARNING!!!Written on Oct 24 2011

I thought he was awful! I found it very disappointing that he had to use such vulgar language to be funny. His topics were so inappropriate and crude. I didn't find him funny at all and there were not many people in the audience laughing either!!Written on Oct 24 2011

More Information About Comedian Dave Foley
Description
Dave Foley was born and raised in Toronto where he attended alternative high schools. At a young age, he began writing stand-up comedy for creative writing projects. His interest in improv led him to comedy workshops, where he met and teamed with Kevin McDonald. They became The Kids in the Hall one year later, and the rest is history!
Their distinct and irreverent brand of comedy quickly earned The Kids in the Hall a large cult following influencing a new generation of sketch comedy. In 1987, Lorne Michaels produced their first television special. By 1989, the troupe had their own series on the Canadian Broadcasting Co. and, later on HBO, where it aired until 1991. CBS and Comedy Central soon after picked it up, where it ran from 1992-1994. They crossed over into feature films with the 1995 release of Brain Candy for Paramount Pictures.
After the successful television run of Kids in the Hall, Dave signed onto the long running NBC series NewsRadio. In between seasons, he forged a feature film career that is still very active today. In addition to his comedic work, Foley has also been seen in HBO’s critically-acclaimed mini-series From the Earth to the Moon. He also wrote and starred in the film The Wrong Guy which was released in Canada. In addition, he also directed the Kids in The Hall documentary, Same Guys New Dresses, based on one of the group’s recent tours.
Some of the many films Foley has starred in include Sky High, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, A Blast From the Past, South Park: Bigger and Longer, Cars, and Postal. Dave have been equally active on the television side, and has appeared on Will & Grace, Las Vegas, Joey, Lovespring International, Scrubs, Brother’s & Sisters, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Bravo’s Celebrity Poker Showdown.
Foley attributes most of his interest in the performing arts to such stellar role models as Frank Zappa, Jerry Lewis, The Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton and Monty Python.
