CHICAGO — Want to watch famous people take Justin Bieber to task as a guest of one of the rising stars of comedy?

Hannibal Buress, an Austin native, is auctioning two tickets to the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber, which is being filmed Saturday in Los Angeles.

The prize doesn't include airfare or hotel, but it does include a chance to snap photos with Buress, who stars on Comedy Central's "Broad City."

For those of you who need reminding who Bieber is, he's the guy who once disrespected the Blackhawks logo in the team's locker room. Another time, he was part of a bet between Canada and the United States (sorta). Neither country wanted him.

The event will be hosted by comedian Kevin Hart and feature roasters including Buress, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal and rapper Snoop Dogg, aka Snoop Lion, aka Snoozilla.

Proceeds go to Mercy Home for Boys & Girls. As of Monday evening, the top bidder offered $4,000. You have until Thursday 8 p.m. to top that.
