A '''donkey show''' is a form of live entertainment in which a person (usually a [[woman]]) performs [[sex|sexual acts]] with a [[donkey]]. It is common for taxi drivers in [[Juarez| Ciudad Juarez]], and [[Nuevo Laredo| Nuevo Laredo]], [[Mexico]] to offer tourists a ride to see a "donkey show." Donkey shows are performed (or have been performed) in the [[red light district]]s of each of these cities. The primary purpose of such shows is to entice tourists to drink copious amounts of alcohol while waiting for the show to begin. In most instances, an actual donkey show will be performed, but patrons may need to wait until the crowd size is considered large enough to begin the show (and liquor sales have been sufficient). On the rare occasion, the show might not be performed and the disgruntled patrons eventually leave. Also, there have been reports of some tourists (especially those traveling alone) being offered rides to see such shows, and instead are taken to remote locations to be robbed.

[[File:Donkey-bar.jpg|thumb|A bar in [[Boy's Town, Nuevo Laredo]], Mexico advertising a nightly "donkey's show"]]
The typical format of a donkey show as presented in the [[Boy's Town, Nuevo Laredo| Boy's Town]] of [[Nuevo Laredo]] involves relatively docile donkeys that are prominently displayed at the entrance to a bar. The actual donkey show may occur 4-5 times per night (on weekends) and depends on there being a sufficiently large audience in attendance. In preparation for a show, two waiters will collect the donkey, bring it on stage and turn the donkey on its back, holding its legs up vertically. The [[stripper| performer/stripper]] will begin by performing oral sex on the donkey. She will then straddle the donkey such that their genitalia are in contact and she will spend several minutes rubbing their organs together. Actual penetration does not always occur as it is the choice of the performer (often depending on how much money has been collected in tips from the patrons). The whole routine may last from five to fifteen minutes.
The donkey show is one of several types of [[Live sex show| live sex shows]] presented in Mexican [[Boy's Town, prostitution| Boy's Towns]]. Other shows include the "Banana Show" (where a stripper performs banana insertion), the "Candle Show" (candle insertion), the "Lesbian Show", the Monkey Show (where a waiter dressed in a gorilla suit has sex with a stripper), and a "Sex Show" (where patrons are invited on stage to have sex with the stripper free of charge). Generally, bars with shows only offer one or two types of performances. In other words, they tend to specialize. For example, one particular bar may offer Banana and Monkey shows, while another has Candle and Lesbian shows, etc. To be clear, most bars in the various Boy's Towns along the border do not offer such explicit shows. Instead, most just offer standard strip shows.<ref>Curtis, James R., and Arreola, Daniel D. 1991a.''Zonas de Tolerancia on the Northern Mexican Border.''

A donkey show is a supposed type of live sex show in which a woman engages in bestiality with a donkey,[1][2] which, according to urban legend and some works of fiction, were once performed in the Mexican border city of Tijuana, particularly in the mid-20th century.
Gustavo Arellano, in his ¡Ask a Mexican! column, argues that donkey shows are not real.[3]
As late as 2008, they have been mentioned as a reason to visit Tijuana, and naive tourists may seek them out.[4]
The "donkey show" has been portrayed in several American films, including Losin' It (1983), Bachelor Party (1984), The 40-Year Old Virgin (2005), Clerks II (2006), The Heartbreak Kid (2007), and Cake (2014).[citation needed]
In the 1981 book New West, a Tijuana taxi driver offers tourists a ride to see a donkey show in the red light district.[5]
In Mark Winegardner's 2005 book The Godfather Returns, set in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Fredo Corleone's wife Deanna Dunn insists on attending one: "on a whim, they'd headed to Mexico. When they'd gotten there, Deanna Dunn, insisted on going to see a donkey show. ... who thought that watching a donkey fuck a teenage Indian girl was a hoot."[6]
In 2005 the term is claimed to be used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess".[7] For example, the Government, and news media outlets.
