Life is better when you laugh!

I have always felt that humor is an important component in maintaining balance in our lives. It is a joy for me to share my humor with folks through writing, storytelling about life, stand-up comedy, my “Happenings” newsletter and workshops. Satire has saved my sanity on more than one occasion.

I have been a national freelance writer and presenter for more than three decades and also worked in the field of mental health wellness as a part of my professional background.

Being born and raised in a small town in Northern Wisconsin and spending my elementary school years in a Catholic school, it has given me years of humorous writing and storytelling material. I am listed in the Wisconsin Storyteller Directory. I can assist you in developing a storytelling group and activities.

Contact me to discuss bringing a workshop to your company or organization or find out where one is happening in your community. You can also book me to do storytelling and comedy for an event or doing some freelance writing. Funny is good for you!

I have been a published humor writer and presenter for over three decades and I love offering my "Life is Better When You Laugh" workshops. These popular workshops are a fun and dynamic discussion about what a valuable role humor plays in our lives.

Something Special From Wisconsin logo

Parochial school in the 1960’s was a minefield. NUNderwear is a small, but mighty collection of satirical and sometimes poignant stories about my experiences, as I navigated my way through Catholic elementary school.

  • “I am not sure if I found it cathartic or triggering. Either way, I am buying copies for my friends. I haven’t laughed this hard in ages.”

    - Mary O., Lapsed Catholic

  • "Alice has captured such great little stories from her years in parochial school. Being a survivor of those years she interjects such great humor it will tickle your funny bone! Such a fun read, you’ll want to pass it onto other “survivors”! I highly recommend!!"

    - Linda L., Amazon Reviewer

  • “This author clearly isn’t looking for a Pulitzer.”

    - J. Pulitzer, deceased

  • What a delightful little book! Alice Pauser takes us along on her childhood journey through Catholic school with this collection of anecdotal stories that made me laugh out loud. Nunderwear is a fast read and asks nothing of you other than to relax and enjoy. A welcome respite from the ills of the world.

  • The time period of this book exactly matches my grade school experience. I found the vignettes to be spot on. My only wish is that the book had been longer.
