Just thinking out loud -- this is nuts.
Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran offered fans a $2 private performance billed as a "peep show" and sat around for more than two hours before anyone actually stopped by to hear him.
As an outrageous video shows, the act was pulled off Friday with the help of Australian comedy duo Hamish and Andy, with Hamish going under disguise in a fake beard to lure potential customers off the streets.
"I've got all the Ed Sheeran you need for two bucks," he calls to one baffled passerby outside of dodgy, neon-colored signs. "Beautiful ginger-head man, sitting on a stool."
Unfortunately for the "Photograph" singer, he was left sitting behind a red velvet curtain, his guitar uselessly resting on his lap, for two and a half hours before the first hesitant customers took the bait.
The resulting hilarious moment saw a young couple gasping when the curtains opened up to reveal the musician strumming his guitar just a few feet away.
While that couple immediately whipped out their cell phones in a bid to film their 30-second pay-per-view performance, others savored the incredible act with their own eyes and ears, with one tattooed man harmoniously singing along.
As one stunned customer later put it, it ended up being "the best two f**king dollars I've ever spent."
