audience member at Rich Hall gig: "how come you got so fat Rich?"

He's clearly not very educated. Thinking you're 2 (or more) people is Multiple Personality Disorder, not schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is when you can't tell what's real and keep imaging things.

Not sure that counts as a great riposte, Iain. I suppose Pete & Dud had a classic sketch about an amputee.

Andy Goram, the Rangers and Scottish goalkeeper,was diagnosed as being schizophrenic. At his next match the crowd chanted 'There's only two Andy Gorams.'

Sad, inadequate little thing, aren't you, little imposter? Pretending to be a girl. Pretending to be a man. What a needy little life!

I think they were confusing schizophrenia with Multiple Personality Disorder.
