Best entertainers in Doubleview
Doubleview does not announce itself. It is the quiet grid a kilometre back from Scarborough, all single-storey houses on generous blocks with the odd new build going up between them, and it stays residential in a way the beachfront next door has stopped being. Nobody on this list lives here, and that is fine: the ten nearest are Perth acts, pinned to the city, a short run down the freeway or Scarborough Beach Road.
Which means the interesting question is not who to book but where to put them. The blocks here are wide and the backyards are real, so an outdoor party is the normal thing rather than a stretch. A trio on the lawn at a fiftieth, a soloist for a long Sunday lunch, a classical guitarist for something quieter. Every act on the nearest ten carries reviews, so you have something to go on beyond the photo.

Top picks are the nearby performers with the most visible reviews, then rating, then the closest; further afield the closest come first, and premium listings break remaining ties. Distances are straight-line from Doubleview. Ask each act whether they travel to your venue and what that costs.
Questions people ask about entertainers in Doubleview
Are Doubleview and Scarborough the same booking?
For distance, near enough, since they are a kilometre apart and every act here comes from the city anyway. For everything else, no. Scarborough is venues and late nights on the beachfront, Doubleview is backyards and finishing at a civilised hour, and an act plans a different evening for each. Tell them which one you mean.
What size act fits a backyard here?
A duo or a trio, most of the time. The yards are big enough to take one comfortably, and a trio gives you enough sound to fill an outdoor space without needing a stack of gear on the lawn. A full band works if the yard is deep and the neighbours are invited, which is the real test.
How far ahead should I book for a summer party?
Further than you would like, because Perth's pool is small and December fills first. The reviewed acts at the top of this page take Saturday bookings months out, so a summer date needs to be locked well before the season starts. A weeknight or a winter Sunday, by contrast, you can often arrange inside a few weeks.
Booking tips
Big backyards, close neighbours
The blocks are generous but the houses are single-storey and sound travels flat across fences here. Point the speakers at your own house rather than the boundary and the whole street sleeps better.
The sea breeze is reliable and it is loud
The afternoon southerly comes in off Scarborough most summer days and it does not stop at the second row of streets. It pushes an unamplified voice around and rattles anything light, so give the act a wall or a fence at their back.
Scarborough is next door and books differently
The beach strip a minute away runs on venues and bigger nights, while Doubleview runs on houses. If your plan is really a Scarborough venue event, say so in the enquiry, because it changes the gear the act brings and the finish time they expect.
