  • Miss K

    A very nervous welcome to Miss K - our Mistress of Ceremonies for FOKI 2017. Miss K is brash, sexy, controversial and, dare we say it, slightly insane. Listing her interests as "Men, Alcohol, Fans ..." we think the less said the better! Dangerously armed with a guitar, microphone and razor wit we have no idea where this runaway trainwreck will end. Fingers crossed and hold on tight everyone!
