Fans' hilarious comments to Ed Sheeran's pop-up pub performance

Because of Teddy's (Ed's nickname) sudden performance at his pop-up pub, fans poked fun at him, saying that they never saw the singer hanging out at his own home and he's always somewhere!

"He really be everywhere except his own house" - a fan said (via X/@szaseiji).

Fans are also delighted with the "Thinking Out Loud" singer and wish that other artists would follow suit when performing at small and intimate venues.

"That’s dope. I wish bigger artists would perform at small venues more. It’s way more intimate." - another fan added (via X/@EricsElectrons).

Other fans also trolled the singer, joking that his building a pop-up pub and making it an intimate concert venue for him is one of Ed's side quests in his career. (via X/@holigirll)

Some fans are also happy that Ed Sheeran is finally performing again after taking a break from music, saying that his performance at The Old Phone pop-up pub is one of his biggest performances this year because he's connecting with people!

"Biggest live performance for him in years!!!!" - another fan replied (via X/@gloxxycooch96).

X users also clowned the singer's pop-up pub location, commenting that the last time they heard about Ipswich, Massachusetts, was when the 2006 film The Covenant happened there.

"Haven't seen or heard anything about ipswich since the covenant came out" - an X user commented (via X/@neozoneyuta).

And finally, other X users also roasted Ed, stating that Ed's promo season is their favorite season because they get to hear the singer's new songs, and he's performing at different venues—big or small.

"Oh how i love Ed Sheeran promo season!" - another X user remarked (via X/@wliflower).

All about Ed Sheeran's pop-up pub performance

The reason Ed performed at Ipswich, Massachusetts, is because he was set to film the music video for his new song, "Old Phone," and that's why they also built a pop-up pub called The Old Phone.

Aside from performing at the pub, Ed Sheeran also performed at the back of a pickup truck, where many fans watched in awe as the singer sang many of his classic songs. Moreover, the singer visited the local network, WBZ-TV, and became the weatherman the day he visited the network.


Ed Sheeran's new era is finally here, and what's great about this talented lad is that he's not afraid to let loose and be personal with his fans—by performing at small, intimate venues surrounded by the people who believed in him since day one.
