But of Mind

Juneau, Salt Lake City, & San Francisco

Inspired by the first season of The Twilight Zone (1959), But Of Mind brings a distinctive blend of psychological tension, paranormal mystery, and vintage TV atmosphere.

Placing ordinary characters into extraordinary, often unsettling situations, unfolding live, unscripted, and in the style of the golden age of television. Each performance blends supernatural elements, social commentary, and a touch of existential irony, echoing Rod Serling’s trademark storytelling

But Of Mind was created by Eric Caldwell, who originally developed it as a festival format, inviting guest performers to join him onstage. In 2022, at a festival in the United States, Caldwell invited Diana Brown, Kelly Chambers, and Dan Wilson to perform with him. The chemistry was immediate, and the quartet has performed as the core ensemble ever since—occasionally bringing in guest artists for special editions.

The show has appeared at festivals across the United States, including:

  • Rise Comedy Festival (Denver)
  • San Francisco Improv Festival
  • The Dramatic Improv Festival (Chicago)
  • Diablo Improv Festival
  • Countdown Improv Festival

In May of 2026 But of Mind made it’s UK debut, appearing at the Liverpool Improvisation Festival.
