“I’ve been doing it since the beginning of my career and I feel like it’s a really powerful gift to come in and make someone laugh,” he said.
“Who am I to say I shouldn’t be using that every day. I talked to my wife about it, it’s like, if you have the ability to do that, it should be used because you get it for a reason,” Ed added.
“It’s not just to help me, to have a good time on these shows. I just hope it makes people happy.’
In February, Ed also visited to surprise sick children at Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick.

The Shape Of You hitmaker was spotted outside Sydney hospital before taking his maths tour to the city’s Accor Stadium that evening.
His crew – all of whom wore masks – was also with him as one carried his guitar for the impromptu performance.
He has made it a habit to give back to his young fans on a tour of Down Under as he also surprised children at Queensland Children’s Hospital this past weekend.
During the hospital visit in Queensland, all her dreams of a teenage girl came true when she got to sing with the pop star.
Keasine Latu – who thankfully is now cancer free – was lucky enough not only to meet her idol and hear some of his greatest hits, but she also shared a special moment with him as they performed a duet.

She told the Today Show on Channel 9 that she was “so nervous” but it was the best experience of her life.
“I was put on the spot, the cameraman told him I could sing and it was in front of everyone, so I just started singing,” she told the programme.
“It was the best thing I’ve had in my whole life, meeting Ed Sheeran was amazing.”
A hospital worker said Ed “wanted to really be there” as he chatted with patients before and after the stripped-back performance.
“He actually sat down, started chatting with the kids, finding out where they came from, their stories, which was really beautiful,” they said.
In February, Ed also stopped to surprise sick children at Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick and surprised children at Queensland Children’s Hospital the weekend before.
