He wrote the How To.. column in The Guardian from 1999–2009. Before that he wrote about office politics and social climbing. He currently lives in Kingston Bagpuize in Oxfordshire.
He started out in the comedy duo Dross Bros with Patrick Marber.
The two fell out and Browning went into advertising with Darcy Macius Benton Bowles where he was responsible for the line "Delicious Meaty Chunks in a Nutritious Gravy". He went on to become the Creative Director of Added Value before setting up his own business, Smokehouse, in 1997 which organises interactive events all over the world.
Browning is a regular on British Broadcasting Corporation 4, e.g. Small Talk (2003) and Weak at the Top, which ran for two series in 2005/6 starring Alexander Armstrong.
The fictional John Weak works for Smokehouse, the name of Guy Browning"s real business.
Politics
His humour is gentle and incisive. He steers clear of political comedy and cruelty. On Thursday 24 May 2012, the village of Kingston Bagpuize decamped en masse to view the premiere of Tortoise in Love, as part of the opening of the newly refurbished Leicester Square in London.
