Stand-Up Comedy Genre/Keyboard
Why is it so difficult to find stand up comedy specials on Imdb?
It seems like such a no-brainer to have "stand-up comedy" as a genre, or failing that "stand-up comedy" as a keyword.
Yet whenever I search there is no option for stand-up comedy in genres or keywords, and if I type in "stand up comedy", no matter what pattern or combination of words I use, I always end up with a measly 34 shows, some of which are not even stand up comedy specials, but merely have stand, up, and comedy in the title.
I have tried to contribute to the IMDb pages yet I am unable to add a new genre "stand up comedy" and when I add a keyword "stand up comedy" I am told that the keyword has already been added to the title, yet ironically these titles do not appear when I type "Stand up comedy" into search.
I feel this would be a pretty simple fix and would allow stand-up comedy fans to catalogue the reviews of stand-up comedy specials as well as TV shows and movies.
Kind regards

Indeed, the keyword already exists and has 3500+ titles.

For what title(s) did you _not_ see this keyword, but were told it was there?

Ah, thank you very much for your help Cyrus_NYVKE
It's nice to have this cleared up.
I can try to use the webpage for a work around way of doing things.
