Ed Sheeran offered his fans a once in a lifetime chance for him to perform live for only $2, but many people didn’t take him up on his offer, because it was billed as a peep show.
– How’re you feeling?
– I don’t really know what’s going on to be honest.
(laughs)
The prank was set up by the Australian radio hosts Hamish and Andy. They placed the Grammy nominated singer in a booth and behind a red curtain, while Hamish tried to lure in customers to watch the Ed Sheeran Peep Show.
– Do you wanna peep at Ed
Sheeran for two bucks?

Sheeran? Your loss. Got Ed Sheeran in here, beautiful ginger-haired man, sitting on a stool.
What do you reckon? Two bucks. Got Ed Sheeran just sitting on a stool in there, do you want him? Two bucks, two bucks for a peep.
After over two hours, one couple decide to check it out. They couldn’t believe their eyes when the singer was revealed and started playing his hit song, “Thinking Out Loud”.
♪ Darling I will be loving you ’til we’re 70 ♪ ♪ And I’m thinking ’bout how ♪ ♪ People fall in love ♪
– Your time is finished, thank you very much for peeping.
Only a handful of people opted to check out the $2, 30 second show, but all fans who went in agreed it was totally worth it.
