Larry, a comedy writer, entered into a contract with Jerry, a comedian.The contract provided that Larry would complete a 15 minute comedy monologue for Jerry to use for his upcoming appearance on "Comedy Hour" a local radio program.In exchange, Jerry would pay Larry $250.

All performers appearing on "Comedy Hour" are paid $500 per appearance.As Larry knows, the last time Jerry appeared on "Comedy Hour" he was asked to make special guest appearances at three local comedy clubs using the same monologue.He earned a total of $750 for those three performances.

Shortly before Jerry was scheduled to appear on "Comedy Hour," Larry told him that he did not prepare the monologue as he had promised.As a result, Jerry was forced to cancel his appearance on "Comedy Hour" and had no additional appearances.

Jerry has now sued Larry for breach of contract.As the judge, what damages is Jerry entitled to, if any, how much, if any, and why?
