In a recent performance of the “Titans of Media Trilogy” by Ryan Raftery at Joe’s Pub, it has become apparent that Martha Stewart is the standout favorite among the three iconic women. Despite all being successful in their own right, Stewart has managed to sell out her shows, while Anna Wintour has come close to selling out as well. On the other hand, Kris Jenner’s shows have not been performing as well. According to Raftery, the reason for this difference in interest might be attributed to the fact that Stewart and Wintour are perceived as campier and funnier than Jenner.
Campy and Funnier Appeal
Raftery’s portrayal of these media giants has been well-received by celebrity fans such as Bernadette Peters, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Patricia Field. His recent residency at Joe’s Pub has drawn in a diverse crowd, including Sandra Lee, Titus Burgess, and “Traitors” star Peppermint. Even designer Michael Kors showed up with a group of friends to witness Raftery’s take on Martha Stewart. The backstage meeting between Kors and Raftery led to a spontaneous photoshoot with Mary Ellen Mathews, the official photographer of “Saturday Night Live.”
Personal Encounters with Martha Stewart
Raftery shared a heartwarming encounter with Martha Stewart, revealing that they initially met at Fern Mallis’s conversation series at the 92nd Street Y. Despite some hesitations, Stewart attended the show and enjoyed Raftery’s portrayal of her. It was noted that many of Stewart’s associates, including her hot gardener, have also seen Raftery perform. The comedian even noticed a change in the audience’s reactions, with jokes landing better due to the presence of Sequential Brands employees, the company that formerly owned Stewart’s brands.
Martha Stewart’s enduring popularity and appeal to fans in comparison to Kris Jenner and Anna Wintour can be attributed to her campy and humorous portrayal in Ryan Raftery’s shows. The personal connections and encounters with Stewart and her associates have further solidified Raftery’s success in capturing the essence of the domestic diva. With a loyal fanbase and celebrity endorsements, Raftery’s “Titans of Media Trilogy” continues to entertain and delight audiences with its unique take on these media icons.
