The Little Britain character Kenny Craig (played by Matt Lucas) is a hypnotist who uses his powers for trivial things, such as winning a game of Scrabble against his mother or attempting to avoid paying the entrance fee to a swimming pool. His catchphrase is "Look into my eyes, look into the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into my eyes(clicks) you're under, (after dialogue involving the situation), 3, 2, 1, you're back in the room"

Information
Gender	Male
Occupation	Stage hypnotist

The character is featured in both the radio and TV in sketches where he often uses his special hypnosis talent to get his own way, such as saving money when going out on a date by hypnotising his girlfriend into choosing food from the set menu.

It is probable that, at first, he doesn't really have any hypnotic skills at all, and that people only do what he hypnotises them to do just to make him happy. However, in his final scetches, he could hypnotise a whole audience into believing that they have witnessed a spectacular hypnotic show, which shows that his powers have developed considerably throughout the series.

His name is a combination of weight-loss guru Jenny Craig and real-life hypnotist Paul McKenna.

In Little Britain Abroad, he meets Paul McKenna in Portugal. He takes his hypnotic powers away.
