If-Then
Also known as If This Is True, What Else Is True?
The heightening logic of UCB-style improv: once an unusual thing is established, ask what else must be true in this world.
Known for
- UCB's replacement for Yes, And once the game is established; Yes, And builds base reality, If-Then builds the game.
- Heightening asks 'what else?'; exploring asks 'why?' — both are If-Then operations.
- Produces structured, pattern-based comedy at the cost of sometimes feeling formulaic.
