I’ve seen roasts before—Comedy Central’s gaudy spectacles, the UK’s brutal Roast Battle, even the occasional Indonesian stand-up special where a comic takes a swing at a politician. But Adili Idola Celebrity Roast: Fedi Nuril isn’t just another night of comedic bloodsport. It’s the story of a man who looked at the idea of being publicly humiliated and said, *Yes, please.
And make it three hours long.*
That alone should tell you something about Fedi Nuril. Here’s an actor best known for playing devout characters, a man whose Twitter feed is a mix of earnest political takes and religious reflections, the kind of public figure who gets called a “polygamy ambassador” by critics. And yet, he didn’t just agree to be roasted—he helped invent the format.
He wanted this. He needed it. And in the process, he turned Indonesia’s first full-scale celebrity roast into something far more interesting than just a night of jokes at his expense.
The premise is simple: six comedians and celebrities take turns eviscerating Fedi with jokes about his career, his personal life, his public persona. The twist? Fedi isn’t just a passive target.
He’s an active participant, a man who chose this gauntlet, who even gets his own stand-up set at the end to fire back. And that changes everything. This isn’t just comedy—it’s performance art, a public unraveling and re-stitching of an identity.
The question isn’t whether the jokes land (some do, some don’t), but what it means for a man like Fedi to stand there, grinning, while his friends and colleagues dissect him in front of a live audience.
The best roasts thrive on contradiction—the gap between how a person sees themselves and how the world sees them. Fedi Nuril is a fascinating subject precisely because that gap is so narrow. He’s not a tabloid fixture, not a scandal magnet.
Audience Opinions
Audience 6.6/10
"An ambitious, often funny Indonesian celebrity roast with strong comics but uneven pacing and limited material on its soft-spoken target."
Sharp sets from professional comics, especially Abdel Achrian and Abdur Arsyad, deliver the biggest laughs and make the stand-up sections the clear highlight. The show struggles to maintain that level across its long runtime, with several non-comic guests coming off awkward and Fedi Nuril’s low-controversy image leaving roasters with relatively little to attack, so some stretches feel flat or skippable.
What viewers praise
- Strong comic roasters Abdel Achrian and Abdur Arsyad are repeatedly singled out as the funniest performers, landing the most memorable jokes of the night.
- Fun stand-up portions The dedicated stand-up segments are described as entertaining and engaging, to the point that some viewers chose to focus on these parts alone.
- Fresh roast concept The idea of a full-scale celebrity roast in Indonesia is appreciated as something new, with viewers seeing clear potential for future editions.
Common complaints
- Weak non-comic guests Several celebrity roasters without a comedy background are described as cringe or merely filling space, making sections feel awkward.
- Difficult target to roast Fedi Nuril’s polite, non-controversial persona gives roasters little sharp material, so some jokes feel tame or repetitive.
- Inconsistent engagement The long runtime and uneven lineup lead some viewers to skip segments or not finish, saying they mainly cared about the stand-up parts.

Buzz & Rumors
Public reportsPandji put a roast on Netflix to warm up Reza Arap.
On May 22, 2026, Pandji Pragiwaksono posted that Adili Idola Celebrity Roast: Fedi Nuril was already streaming. "IT IS ALREADY ON NETFLIX! The Fedi Nuril edition of Adili Idola can now be enjoyed again." He said the timing was right "to warm up the atmosphere before we go into the @ybrap edition." Kompas flagged Reza Oktovian's live roast in Jakarta for May 30. Suara added that nobody had confirmed whether the Arap night would stream too. The Fedi tape is the warmup he promised.

TMDB dates the file May 21, 2026, in Indonesia, 13+, and 2 hours 53 minutes. Netflix's English logline still sells a panel of six comedians and celebrities through the Trilogy of Laughter. The billed names are Fedi as the roastee, Pandji as roastmaster, then Nirina Zubir, Saykoji, Fatih Andhika, Abdel Achrian, Abdur Arsyad, and Nury Zhafira. Reza Rahadian is listed as himself. That credit is leftover from a taped surprise, not a claim that he sat in the dock all night. ,
Fedi asked for the chair.
The live show landed first, on November 8, 2025, at Jakarta Concert Hall inside iNews Tower in Kebon Sirih. At a Comika press conference Fedi told Kompas the three names that worried him were Nirina, Igor Saykoji, and Pandji, because they had shot together for a long stretch. "There are a lot of incidents I did not realize were embarrassing, and they might have recorded them," he said. KapanLagi called the night Indonesia's first celebrity roast, a GOLDLive Indonesia and Comika pairing after The Founder5. Fedi walked out in a dark blue shirt, sat down smiling, and let Fatih "Ate" Andhika open as first roaster. ,
Kompas later printed how the format even got a victim. Tired of hunting for a roastee, Fedi told Pandji, "I'll be the one who gets roasted." He said Pandji was not bluffing, and Adili Idola happened. At the end of the live night he stood up and judged the judges. "At first I did not expect it would be like this. Mixed feelings, but really fun. While I was being judged, I actually laughed a lot. The best part was when I finally got to judge my friends back at the end. That is a moment I truly will not forget." Asked who ran hottest, he laughed, "Looks like the hottest ones were me and Ate."

KapanLagi also logged a Reza Rahadian video that cracked Fedi up, an improv round with Nirina and Nury, a three-headed artist game with Saykoji, Abdel, Pandji, and Fedi, and Abdel working through a toothache as the last roaster. Saykoji closed one stretch with a rap written for Fedi. Pandji, who is also Comika's CEO, called roasting a test of how ready people are to laugh at what they usually protect. Six months later that same night is the Netflix product, parked in front of a Reza Arap date as a 173-minute cold open. A short clip circulating on YouTube is the hard sell if you missed the hall.
