Newcastle magician Super Hubert is about to become the punchline, with six local comedians preparing to roast the beloved entertainer at a special charity show this December.
Dubbed The Christmas Roast, the one-night event will bring together some of the Hunter’s comedy talent at Newcastle Comedy Club.
Eddy Rockerfeller, Elliott Stewart, Ethan Bentley, James Connors, Joel Pearse and Paige Hally will take turns taking aim at Hubert before he gets the final right of reply.
The laughs will also be raising money for a good cause, with all proceeds from the event going to Soul Hub.
The Newcastle-based organisation provides meals and practical support to people experiencing homelessness, hardship and vulnerability, making the fundraiser a timely way to support the community during the festive season.
Hubert has been entertaining Hunter audiences for more than 40 years, becoming a familiar local personality thanks to his distinctive star-spangled super suit, famous phone-booth costume change and daredevil magic.
A fixture of the region’s entertainment scene, he has also appeared on television and built a loyal following across generations.
The night will combine a full comedy roast with Hubert’s chance to respond, followed by a charity auction.
The event will also be professionally filmed, capturing what promises to be a memorable evening of local comedy, good-natured ribbing and community spirit.
The Christmas Roast takes place at Newcastle Comedy Club, 139 Maitland Road, Islington, on Friday 18 December 2026. Tickets are available now via Humanitix, with all event proceeds going to Soul Hub.
