The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber, which has attracted plenty of media since it was recently filmed, will air on the Comedy Channel just hours after its US screening.
Hosted by Roast Master Kevin Hart, the roast is the first since 2013. Roasters will include: Hannibal Buress, Jeffrey Ross, Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Shaquille O’Neal, Chris D’Elia, Natasha Leggero and Pete Davidson.
The 20-year-old pop star has accepted the challenge to be roasted with ease and in a happy coincidence for audiences the event will fall on his 21st birthday. The Roast will be “no holds barred” and everything and anything is fair game.
Actor and comedian Kevin Hart (Real Husbands of Hollywood) has been named the Roast Master and will be joined by Roast regular Jeffrey Ross – who is fast becoming Bieber’s worst nightmare.
Comedian Hannibal Buress (Broad City), actor and stand up Chris D’Elia, rap royalty Snoop Dogg, actress Natasha Leggero, hip hop artist Ludacris, basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, and controversial television personality Martha Stewart will also be stepping up onto the dais with Justin, with more names to be announced soon.
Bieber, who is no stranger to being mocked and regularly cops flack in mainstream media like Saturday Night Live and on social media, is the first musician to get a roast since Flavor Flav had verbal shots fired at him in 2007. The most recent Comedy Central Roast was with James Franco who was skewered and burned in 2013.
Tuesday March 31 at 8.30pm on The Comedy Channel.

No Gilbert Gottfried?
Don’t know if it’s worth watching now I know that.
I find these roasts really bloody difficult to watch. I saw the William Shatner one and the gags about Nichelle Nichols “black box” and some graphic gay ones directed at George Takeii confused me as to how these gags are celebrated in this environment, yet anywhere else would attract calls for lynching.
They filmed.one for Stephen Hawking last year but never aired it. Probably a good idea. I love these roasts and shall enjoy watching this one
I really can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m looking forward to this it’s about time they gave it to him
Yeah, part of me thinks it’s a bit early career-wise to receive this honour but another part thinks that the little sh!t deserves it. Not exactly comedy royalty lined up against him tho’ (except for Jeffrey Ross). I know that the lines of the non-comedians (and some of the comedian’s jokes) will be written for them but much of the comedic value is in the delivery.
