After dropping out of high school, Foley pursued standup comedy for about a year in the Toronto Second City Training Centre, where he began taking improv classes and met Kevin McDonald, who gave him a job as an usher at a local art house theatre. He played Lewis Allen in the miniseries Anne of Avonlea. Foley, McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson formed The Kids in the Hall in 1984. The troupe's eponymous TV series debuted in 1988 and ended in 1995. Foley played characters including Hecubus, one of the Sizzler sisters, the A. T. & Love boss, Bruno Puntz Jones, Mr. Heavyfoot, Jocelyn and Lex. Initially involved with Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy, he left the troupe in the middle of the writing, dissatisfied with the internal strife and the quality of the script, and joined the NewsRadio cast instead. As he had not signed any contract with the studio, Foley agreed to sign a deal which would allow the rest of the troupe to get paid for the script, though he was convinced that it would never be shot. When it was greenlighted, Foley appeared in the film because he was contractually obligated to do so. He is the only member of the group who is uncredited as a writer.{{Cite web|url= https://www.avclub.com/the-kids-in-the-hall-part-1-1798208357 |title= The Kids In The Hall, part 1|website= The A.V.

He appeared in the Kids in the Hall 2010 reunion project Death Comes to Town.{{Cite web|url=http://www.xtra.ca/public/National/Nothing_is_sacred_in_new_Kids_in_the_Hall_series-8055.aspx|title=Nothing is sacred in new Kids in the Hall series|publisher=Xtra!|date=December 28, 2009|access-date=January 9, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100324042726/http://www.xtra.ca/public/National/Nothing_is_sacred_in_new_Kids_in_the_Hall_series-8055.aspx|archive-date=March 24, 2010|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}} Paul Simms, creator of NewsRadio, happened to be a huge fan of Foley's work and wrote the role of Dave Nelson specifically for him. Much of his character on the show was based on his own personality quirks, including his coffee addiction and his love of the sitcom Green Acres. In 1999, Dave portrayed Troy, the house mate of Eve, in Blast from the Past.
Foley was recently reunited with NewsRadio writer Joe Furey when he recorded the special featurette Working with Joe Furey, an add-on to Furey's comedy Love and Support. Foley released his stand-up special, Relatively Well in January 2013, distributed by Showtime.{{Citation needed |date=December 2022}} In the comedy-thriller The Wrong Guy, Foley played Nelson Hibbert, an office worker who finds his boss murdered, mistakenly believes he will be blamed for the crime and runs off as a fugitive.{{cite web |last1=Rabin |first1=Nathan |title=Sad Sack Case File #188: The Wrong Guy |url=https://www.avclub.com/sad-sack-case-file-188-the-wrong-guy-1798225645 |website=The A. V. Club |access-date=June 5, 2020 |date=May 11, 2011}} In 2001, he played the boss of 'N Sync singer Lance Bass in the film On the Line. Foley hosted the CBC Christmas Special, The True Meaning of Christmas Specials, in which he, a Mexican Elvis impersonator, Elvis Stojko and Dick Dale travel to Canada in search of the true meaning of Christmas specials. He portrayed Jack McFarland's boyfriend Stuart Lamarack on Will & Grace in its 2003-2004 season. In 2004, Foley became host of Celebrity Poker Showdown on Bravo. In 2007, he appeared nude in Uwe Boll's film adaptation of the controversial PC game Postal and became the judge for the US version of Thank God You're Here. He portrayed a middle management employee who happens to be a vampire in the undead office comedy Netherbeast Incorporated (2007) and voiced the disgruntled elf Wayne in the holiday special series, Prep & Landing. He also guest-starred in the 2007 special, Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary. He played a high school principal in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In 2011, he appeared in How I Met Your Mother as Marshall's possible future boss, Mr. Bloom.
From 2011 to 2012, Foley played Jerry Dunham, the boss of Andrew Carlson (David Hornsby) in the short-lived CBS sitcom How to Be a Gentleman. In 2012 and 2013, Foley played Dr. Fulton, Brick's (Atticus Shaffer) school therapist in The Middle, where in "Life Skills", he refers to Brick's classmates as "the kids in the hall", after an awkward pause and glance by both characters and mentioning that their behavior is similar to those of comedy sketches from The Kids in the Hall. In February 2013, Foley played Detective Bob Moore for the three last seasons in the TV Land sitcom, Hot in Cleveland (with an unrelated guest appearance as a charity doctor in the first season), starred in the third season of Robson Arms on CTV and also starred in the CTV sitcom Spun Out in 2014.[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/canadas-ctv-orders-dave-foley-426502 "Canada's CTV Orders Dave Foley Comedy 'Spun Out' to Series"].

Foley has also voiced various characters in animated films, television series and video games, such as Flik in A Bug's Life (as well as reprising for a cameo of the character during the outtakes of Toy Story 2 and the epilogue of Cars as well as in a segment from Robot Chicken, and video games like Lego The Incredibles), Yes Man in Fallout: New Vegas, Terry in Monsters University, Agent Rick in Pound Puppies, Chris in Dan Vs. and Wayne in the Prep & Landing series.

Personal life
Foley married Canadian writer Tabatha Southey on December 31, 1991. They divorced in 1997.{{Cite web|first=Eric|last=Alt|url=https://www.nbclosangeles.com/entertainment/celebrity/Former--117641563.html?amp=y|title=Former "News Radio" Star David Foley Can't Go Back to Canada|website=NBC Los Angeles|publisher=NBC|location=Los Angeles, California|date=March 9, 2011}} The couple has two children. In 2001, an interim child support agreement obligated Foley to pay Southey $10,700 a month, a figure based on his income when NewsRadio was in production. By 2011, Foley claimed that his earnings had declined to the point that the $10,700 sum constituted "literally 400 percent of [his] income" but he was unable to get the obligation reduced in court. Owing over half a million dollars in back payments, he believed that if he returned to Canada he would be arrested under orders from Ontario's Family Responsibility Office.{{cite news|url=http://www.torontosun.com/entertainment/celebrities/2011/03/09/17556331.html|title='Hall' star can't return to Canada?|date=March 9, 2011|newspaper=Toronto Sun|access-date=December 4, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304044841/http://www.torontosun.com/entertainment/celebrities/2011/03/09/17556331.html|archive-date=March 4, 2016}}{{cite news |last1=Fraser |first1=Garnet |title=Dave Foley drags himself back to Canada |url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2012/05/04/dave_foley_drags_himself_back_to_canada.html |access-date=2 April 2022 |work=Toronto Star |publisher=Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd. |date=4 May 2012}} By 2013, Foley and Southey had settled a child support lawsuit, and he was able to resume work in the country of his birth.{{cite news |last1=Breslin |first1=Mark |title=Dave Foley, of The Kids in the Hall, returns to stand-up and has new TV project in the works |url=https://streetsoftoronto.com/dave-foley-of-the-kids-in-the-hall-returns-to-stand-up-and-has-new-tv-project-in-the-works/ |access-date=2 April 2022 |work=Streets of Toronto |publisher=Post City Magazines, Inc. |date=19 November 2013 |ref=FoleyReturns}} After he took the lead role in Spun Out, he told Vancouver's The Georgia Straight that "I made enough money to pay the price of admission to Canada."{{cite news |last1=MacPherson |first1=Guy |title=Dave Foley comes back to Canada |url=https://www.straight.com/arts/589141/dave-foley-comes-back-canada |access-date=2 April 2022 |work=The Georgia Straight |publisher=Media Central Corporation |date=18 February 2014 |ref=FoleyComesBack}}

Throughout his life, Foley has suffered from depression.YouTube video: "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmkEZKgeQQg Joe Rogan Experience #1252 - Dave Foley & Paul Greenberg]." He "used to drink quite a bit", but stopped drinking on December 22, 2014, after he fell backwards while intoxicated, resulting in a severe head injury. Foley suffered a subdural hematoma and spent four days in the intensive care unit. In February 2019, he remarked that he had not "had a drink in four years" and had experienced almost no depression following his injury.
