Justin Bieber is set to be the centre of his very own roast dedicated entirely to him on Comedy Central US later this year.

The Biebs, who volunteered for this, will have to sit and take a whole evening of jokes about himfrom comedians and celebrities alike, as part of the much-loved Roast series.

President of Content Development & Original Programming at Comedy Central Kent Alterman said: "Justin has been asking us for a few years to roast him, and we just kept telling him to go create more source material first. We're thrilled he listened."

For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me. They said only if I provided them w/ more material so for a year now I have worked hard

Finally after all that hard work for my 21st bday it's happening. Thanks @RyanSeacrest & @ComedyCentral for the announcement. Let's do it :)

[related]JB took to Twitter to thank CC for the honour, saying: "For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me. They said only if I provided them w/ more material so for a year now I have worked hard"

Adding: "Finally after all that hard work for my 21st bday it's happening. Thanks @RyanSeacrest & @ComedyCentral for the announcement. Let's do it :)"

The last celeb to put themselves through it was James Franco back in 2013, so we can't wait to see what happens at this year's!
