Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in Western Europe. Cradled between France, Germany and Belgium, it is spread over a mere 2,586 sq km and has a population of only about six lakh. And you might raise an eyebrow if someone tells you that two of those people are Indians who are forging a fast-rising career in stand-up comedy. But that's exactly who Deepu Dileepan and Sundeep Bhardwaj are —desis who perform comedy under the banner of Brown Guys, Grey Skies, with a show slated in the city this weekend.

The genesis of their collaboration lies in an open mic event held a little under three years ago. That's where the duo first met. Dileepan had only recently shifted to the country on work, still trying to find his feet in an alien land. But Bhardwaj was already well settled in Luxembourg, having left a career in banking to concentrate on comedy full-time. The two got talking and realised that there are certain aspects of their routine that only Indians will get. So they decided to join forces and turn the tables, building a skit that provides an outsider perspective of what life in Luxembourg is like.
