The #IStandUp events will be held simultaneously around the country to raise money for victims of domestic violence.

As part of a wonderful new initiative to raise awareness of the prominence of domestic violence in Australia, not-for-profit organization Share The Dignity have announced a series of comedy specials will be run around Australia on Friday October 14.

Featuring a great range of music and comedy acts on the night, the events will raise money to pay for the funerals of women who died as a result of domestic violence, many of whom are not afforded the dignity of a formal ceremony due to the conditions they face before their death.

#IStandUp will be held at Forest Lodge’s Harold Park Hotel on Friday October 14, with doors opening at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased from EventBrite.
