A bar in Boy's Town, Nuevo Laredo, Mexico advertising a nightly "donkey's show"
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.
