This article is about the type of sexual performance. For the comedy album by The Bob and Tom Show, see Donkey Show. For the adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, see The Donkey Show (musical).
Not to be confused with Dog and pony show.
A bar in Boy's Town, Nuevo Laredo, Mexico advertising a nightly "donkey's show"

A donkey show is a type of sexual performance most often associated with Tijuana, Mexico, in which a woman engages in bestiality with a donkey.[1][2]

Local taxi drivers offer tourists a ride to see a donkey show in the red light district.[3] The shows are difficult to verify and may be urban legends, but anecdotal accounts are frequent.[4][5] 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."[2]

The "donkey show" in Tijuana myth is deeply embedded in US popular culture including Clerks II, Dexter, The 40-Year Old Virgin, Bachelor Party, and Strangers With Candy, and it is occasionally given as a reason to visit Tijuana. From time to time one may come across naive tourists going up and down La Coahuila street, unsuccessfully trying to find the show.[6]

More recently the term has been used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess".[7]
