Definition from
Bedford/St. Martin's:
In drama, a speech directed to the audience that supposedly is not audible to the other characters onstage at the time. When Hamlet first appears onstage, for example, his aside "A little more than kin, and less than kind!" gives the audience a strong sense of his alienation from King Claudius.
Example sentences:
In order to highlight Palaestrio’s craftiness, Plautus has Periplectomenus in a long aside describe the slave's planning while the actor playing the slave mimes intense deliberation (Brooklyn College)
What does not occur very often in Faust, though, are true asides, and most particularly those comical remarks which would normally produce a laugh in the audience. (Nancy Thuleen)
Rene would regularly explain his ongoing predicament at the start, and make asides at the Audience regarding other people's leading statements. (tvtropes.org)

a line spoken by an actor to the audience but not intended for others on the stage
Example sentences:
Det finns många berömda rader ur Hamlet men mina egna favoritrader är bara en liten sidoreplik, som Hamlet säger då han talat med sin faders ande och fått veta det hemska läget, och då han ser att natten håller på att ta slut, att det börjat ljusna, så säger han: but look the morn’ in russet mantle clad walks o’er the dew of yon high eastward hill (Som jag bäddar)
