A donkey show is a type of live sex show in which a woman engages in bestiality with a donkey, 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 such donkey shows are not real.
As late as 2008, they have been mentioned as a reason to visit Tijuana, and some tourists may seek them out.
In 2005, the term "donkey show" was claimed to be used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess" such as the government or the news media.
