Place of birth[edit]

Something of a mystery. According to whatsonstage.com it's Cleethorpes (with him living in Stoke Newington in 2007) - which is what I've cited in the article, but another wiki page, List of people from Slough, has him from Slough according to this Guardian link - which interestingly has Hamish McColl reportedly from Cleethorpes. This Birmingham Post article says his mother "is from Birmingham and we lived in Dorridge" (obviously not necessarily the same as where he was born). This link says Foley "grew up in Oxford and was a member of the Oxford Youth Theatre" (again, obviously not necessarily the same as where he was born).

Is it possible Foley and McColl have been giving 'funny-sounding' places as their place of birth? Anybody got any concrete evidence of Foley's place of birth?

he went to Oxford University and got a First in History in 1986, spent the summer at the Pegasus and then went to Paris (to the Le Coq) which is where he met Hamish McColl.
