I believe the answer is:

beefeater

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

'yeoman of the guard' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'live performance amid unbridled jeers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'live' could be 'be' (synonyms) and 'be' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beefeater that I've seen before include "Royal servant" , "no vegetarian?" , "Yeoman of the Guard; carnivore" , "One might guard" , "Tower of London guard" .)
