How do you add 2 hours to a timeformat in coldfusion 8

I currently am trying to use a time variable (timeformat) and add two hours to the time in the variable. How would you go about doing such a thing? I'm currently using the code in the snippet as a reference.
<cfsetTimeShown = 8:00 pm>
<cfschedule action="Update" task="#FORM.ShowingID#" operation="httprequest"
    Startdate="#DateFormat(DateShown,"mm/dd/yyyy")#"
    Starttime="#TimeFormat(TimeShown)#"
URL=""
    interval="300" 
    Requesttimeout="600" >

dateAdd("h", 2, dateVariable)

You might need to convert your TimeShown to a dateObject if it's not already, you can use createDateTime for that.

Is there a way to do it with out a date variable? I need to insert a time specifically into cfschedule, that's why I used: TimeFormat(TimeShown). Could you show me the code I"m a complete newb.
I would need to know what your TimeShow looks like what format is it paste an example ie

14:50
12:20 am

If you can tell me what it looks like, I'll post the code.
