If the performance can not be understood just by listening to it cold — even on headphones, then the chances of being able to rescue it are zero.

Are you sitting down? I couldn't get any of the normal noise removal tools to work right, so I deleted them one at a time by hand. Assume the first test clip is good enough, the one with the little ting remaining here and there. Import the show onto Audacity. Zoom into the first ting and pop sound. ...
