Better Than Bacon: Bacon Gives Back: Longwood Rotary

Better Than Bacon Improv is a short form improv comedy troupe based in West Chester, PA. BTB does short skits and games based on audience suggestions. Bacon Gives Back is a fundraiser event — ticket sales and donations directly benefit The Rotary Club of Longwood Foundation.

BTB was born when a few crazy folks met at a local improv comedy class and became friends. Those same folks kept taking improv comedy classes until there were no more local classes to take. In 2010, after finding a director and a few more performers, Better Than Bacon was born. We had our first professional gig in 2011 and celebrate our anniversary each June!

Our current troupe of 13 members hail from all over the SE Philly suburbs: Malvern, Exton, West Chester, Kennett Square, Phoenixville, Media, Swarthmore, and Wilmington, DE. Our artistic backgrounds include improv, acting, stand-up comedy, and music.  

The Rotary Club of Longwood Foundation has been supporting deserving non-profits for over 25 years.  In the past year, the foundation has approved grants for over $70,000 with most of those funds going to charitable organizations in the Kennett Square area.  Since our charter, we have given over $1 million to support these amazing organizations.

The Rotary Club of Longwood Foundation supports causes such as food, clothing, shelter/housing, education, medical care, and community.  Every dollar raised by the Rotary Club of Longwood Foundation support these worthy causes and helps our foundation make a difference in our community and around the world.
