A donkey show is a semi-fictional form of sex tourism entertainment in Tijuana, Mexico involving bestiality with a donkey.[2][3][4]
Taxi drivers in Tijuana, Mexico offer tourists a ride to see a donkey show in the red light district.[4][5] The shows are difficult to verify and may be urban legends, but anecdotal accounts are frequent.[6][7] Author Jim Dawson writes: "No doubt there are clandestine clubs that have put these sordid floorshows on display, but if every man who claims he actually saw one is telling the truth, there must be a lot of bowlegged women hobbling around Tijuana."[3]
However, the real myth is the location of the show: police restrictions make it impossible for donkey shows to be held in Tijuana, but it is performed legally in Boy's Town, Nuevo Laredo, a legal prostitution zone in a city near the US frontier.[1][4] A donkey is laid on its back in the middle of the dance floor, its legs are restrained, and then a woman performs sexual acts on the donkey while the customers cheer.[4]
The "donkey show" myth is deeply embedded in US popular culture, and it is one of the main reasons for visiting Tijuana, with tourists going up and down La Coahuila street, unsuccessfully trying to find the show.[8] "Local guides" will get paid for telling tourists that the show is held at a certain club, where the tourists will spend their money on alcohol until they realize they were cheated or they get tired of waiting.[4] Some guides, including some taxi drivers, will occasionally lure the tourists into dark streets to mug them.[4]
More recently the term has been used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess".[9]
In fiction
A fictional account appeared in the 1984 film Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks. It had a quaalude-popping,[10] cocaine-snorting donkey at the bachelor party ready to perform a donkey show, who dies of a drug overdose.[11] In the 2005 book The Godfather Returns written by Mark Winegardner. In the story Fredo Corleone's wife Deanna Dunn insists they attend one. The passage reads: "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."[12] In the 2006 film Clerks II the character Randal Graves sets up a surprise going away party for Dante Hicks at Mooby's where he hires "Kinky Kelly and the Sexy Stud".[13] The reviewer Joel Siegel wrote that he was revolted by the scene in which the donkey show is discussed and walked out of the movie.[14] He said: "It was so foul and mean and repulsive. I finally realized I could not say anything positive ... I wasn't ready for this kind of smut ... I hope [director Kevin Smith] doesn't make any more movies."[15]
