aftershow

Party after performance

An aftershow is an event following a main performance—typically a concert, theater production, or broadcast.

Musicians often host aftershows at smaller venues for intimate performances after their main concerts: We got into the aftershow at a club downtown.

In television, an aftershow is a program that immediately follows and discusses another show: The aftershow breaks down each episode.
