Sock Party Brighton Fringe 2026 brings one of the most joyful shows of the season to the city — and it arrives with serious credentials behind its playful exterior.
Written and devised by Marta Fossati and Tom Bass — the creative team behind Blip, described by The Scotsman as a tender meditation on intergenerational tensions — Sock Party Brighton Fringe 2026 plays SQUEAK @ Rotunda Theatre on Friday 22 May at 5:15pm.
The Story of Sock Party Brighton Fringe 2026
Tom and Marta arrive at a sock-themed party.
They didn’t expect to meet.
Marta is bold.
Tom doesn’t quite know how to have a conversation with anyone.
But somewhere between awkwardness and play, they begin to understand each other more than either of them expected.
Sock Party Brighton Fringe 2026 is a playful journey through love, connection and something surprisingly rare: the ability to make new friends as an adult.
It sounds simple.
It isn’t.
The Creative Team Behind Sock Party Brighton Fringe 2026
Marta Fossati and Tom Bass created Blip in 2025 — a show that earned five-star reviews at Edinburgh Fringe.
- EdFringeReview: “a masterclass of storytelling”
- JaDar: “absorbing and fascinating”
With Sock Party Brighton Fringe 2026, they shift focus.
Where Blip explored generational relationships, this new work moves into more vulnerable territory — connection between strangers, and the quiet difficulty of being open.
The form reflects that intention:
- clowning
- stop motion
- original live music
- physical theatre
Everything is used deliberately — not for spectacle, but for intimacy.
Why Sock Party Brighton Fringe 2026 Stands Out
Brighton Fringe has always been a home for work that feels both light and precise.
Sock Party Brighton Fringe 2026 fits exactly into that space.
It is:
- playful without being superficial
- minimal without feeling small
- structured, but emotionally open
Forty minutes.
Two performers.
One sock-themed party.
And a story that goes somewhere unexpectedly honest.
