Stand-up people.

Dizzy Heights has organised the first annual Hustle For Muscle, a comedy fundraiser at Yarraville Club with all profits being donated directly to FSHD Global Research Foundation, an Australian based not-for-profit research foundation dedicated to finding a treatment and cure for facioscapulohumeral dystrophy.

Taking place on 4 June, Hustle For Muscle will showcase some of Australia's most popular and talented stand up comedians including Lawrence Mooney, Judith Lucy, Lehmo, Hannah Gadsby, Bob Franklin, Anne Edmonds, Dave Thornton - which will be followed up by some killer live music provided by Ben Salter and his band.

FSHD is one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy, a genetic muscle wasting condition affecting one in 7,500 people, both adults and children. The FSHD Global Research Foundation allocates 100% of the tax deductible donations they receive to current and future medical research grants, funding that will improve the quality of life for people and families suffering from this cruel and misunderstood disease
