            Seen in Brompton Cemetery the grave of Tom Foy (1879 – 7 August 1917) was an English music hall performer and comedian, who was born in Manchester of Irish parents.

Prior to his career he served as an apprenticeship as a sign painter. When he was bored, he joined a circus and performed as a scenery artist and clown. His first music hall performance in Manchester was as a lightning cartoonist. He also joined a Wild West show before heading to London and finding fame as a comedian and pantomime performer. As a comedian he was famous for his sketches such as 'Tom Foy and his Donkey'; his first successful sketch was "The Yorkshire Lad in London", which eventually became "The Yorkshireman in London".. He was billed as "The famous Little Comedian". As a pantomime performer he specialised in "Idle Jack" and pantomime dames.

On 23 July 1917, whilst onstage at the Argyle Theatre in Birkenhead, he collapsed. He died two weeks later at the age of 38.
