I believe the answer is:

set aside

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one of those from the stage heard by the audience' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'put away' is the wordplay.
'put' becomes 'set' (setting is a kind of putting).
'away' becomes 'aside' ('aside' can be a synonym of 'away'**).
'set'+'aside'='SET-ASIDE'

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for set aside that I've seen before include "Discount" , "Policy for leaving land alone" , "Reserve or put away" , "The policy of taking land out of production to reduce crop surplus" , "Fallow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
