Audrey Joseph is a San Francisco-based record executive, club manager, LGBT rights activist, former President, and current member of the San Francisco Entertainment Commission.
She started in the recording industry as a nightclub manager and later record executive responsible for some disco-era dance hits. She relocated from New York to San Francisco and opened a popular club and event venue, 177 Townsend/174 King Street, and several gay clubs at those venues including Pleasuredome, Club Universe, and others used for fundraising and events particular to the LGBT community. With San Francisco's changing real estate market the lease on the venue expired and the building razed; and Joseph started Mezzanine at 444 Jessie, which established itself as a premier venue for DJ talent.
Joseph was appointed to the Entertainment Commission by Mayor Willie L. Brown and took office in July 2003. She has served as the commission's vice president and president several times.
